Mainchi is a work by Ioan?, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This faded drawing shows a group of solemn figures in rich robes, gathered closely together. The colors are mostly browns and golds, with some reds peeking through the wear. One central figure holds a small child, while others stand in a half-circle, their faces turned inward. The paint looks old and scratched, like it’s been handled a lot over time. The figures are stiff and formal, not quite lifelike. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
Ioan is a variation on the name John found in Aromanian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Russian, Welsh, and Sardinian.
