An overtly respectful and devotional painting in the early Renaissance style, without text. The painting illustrates the biblical scene from 1 Kings 3:9. It depicts King Solomon in prayer, an olive branch in his hand, symbolizing his request to God for a discerning heart to govern his people and distinguish between good and evil. His clothing radiates in rich hues of gold and purple, standard of a king. The backdrop is a serene environment, dotted with Romanesque architecture, evoking the grandeur of the period. In the celestial sphere, divine light penetrates through the clouds, representing God listening to Solomon's prayer.
