PAX is a 1947 by Alexandru Phoebus, depicting soldier, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This is a blank canvas inside a wooden frame. The paint is faded and worn, with some dark streaks running down the middle. The edges show signs of age, like small cracks and peeling. The title *PAX* is written on a label stuck to the top of the frame—it’s the only hint this was meant to be a painting. The wood looks old, too, with some writing scrawled on the sides. If you’re curious about faded canvases like this, look up chiaroscuro next.
