This painting shows an older man with a long white beard and a golden halo, dressed in a rich red robe with green and gold trim. He’s holding a book and looks thoughtful, with a smaller figure peeking in from the side. The background is a deep blue circle, and the edges have a faded yellow border. The man’s name is written as *Matei* in the painting, which likely means this is Saint Matthew. The artist signed it with a small *Gh* in the corner. Look up Gheorghe Tattarescu to see more of his work.
