As described in Acts 2:
1 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place: 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them: 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak
This is Giotto's 14th century portrayal of Pentecost in his series on the Life of Christ in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy. It is a huge fresco (78.7 by 72.8" - in other words more or less 6 feet by 6 feet).
I think it is interesting to try to identify each of the apostles oneself based on what one knows about each from scripture.
