About this work

This painting, titled Deisis, shows a man sitting on a throne. He's wearing a crown and a long robe, and he has a book in his hands. There are two people standing behind him, one on each side. The person on the left is wearing a red robe, and the person on the right is wearing a black robe. The painting is done in a style that makes it look old and worn. The colors are muted, and the lines are rough. It's like looking at a piece of history. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of the artist, Iacov din Rășinari.
