This painting shows a man with a halo, wearing a red robe with a blue sash. He has a large cross around his neck and is holding a book. The background is dark blue with two smaller figures on either side of the main figure. The main figure is looking straight ahead, and the smaller figures are also looking forward. The painting has a lot of details, like the patterns on the robes and the halo around the main figure's head. The painting is called "Sf. Nicolae" and is held at the Museum of Ethnography. To learn more about the artist's use of color and light, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
