This painting, titled "Botezul lui Iisus," shows a scene with several figures. In the center, a man stands with his hands crossed over his chest, wearing a halo. He is surrounded by other figures, some of whom are also wearing halos. The background is a mix of blue and brown colors, with some red accents. The painting has a distressed look, with cracks and fading visible on the surface. The frame is also worn, with some of the paint chipped off. Despite its age, the painting still conveys a sense of reverence and spirituality. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography, where it can be viewed by the public.
