Actuervă is a 1750 by anonim, depicting cult object, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This painting shows two serious-looking men in bright red robes, each holding a book. Their faces are dark, framed by golden halos. Both wear belts with small pouches, and the man on the right has a white cross draped over his chest. The background is a faded gold, with small scenes of people and animals in the bottom panels. The writing above their heads looks like old letters, maybe names or titles. The colors are flat and bold, with no shading to show depth. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shadows with lines instead of color.
