About this work

This painting shows a small wooden church interior with bright colors and flat, decorative figures. A saint stands on the right in a simple robe, outlined in black. It’s an icon from a real village house in Romania. Icons like this were used for worship in homes before churches. The colors stay bright because they’re painted on wood with egg-based paint.
