This painting shows a soldier in old-fashioned armor. His chest plate is gold with stripes, and he wears a green cloak over one shoulder. The background is dark and faded, but his face is clear—serious, with a halo behind his head. The words "Sf. M. M. Gheorghe" are written at the top. The armor looks heavy, and his hand rests on a spear leaning against his leg. The paint is thick in some spots, giving it a textured look. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
