This painting is a busy blue-and-orange collage of people and scenes. At the top, a crow flies over a crowned figure, while below, crowds gather around buildings and horses. Some faces are close-ups, others are tiny in a busy parade. Text in Romanian mixes names like *Stefan cel Mare* with slogans. The artist signed it in the corner in 1981, likely for a local party committee. The mix of history and propaganda feels stiff but oddly lively.
