Sfânta Parascheva is a 1822 unspecified by Simion Poienaru, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Flower, held at National Museum of Transylvanian History.
This painting shows a woman in a red robe with gold trim, holding a cross necklace. Her face is round with light skin, dark eyebrows, and a calm expression. Behind her, two small branches with red flowers sit on either side of her head. The background is plain white, and the edges of the frame are dark wood. The woman’s outfit looks formal, almost like a religious leader’s. The text around her head is in a different language, likely naming her. Next, look up Simion Poienaru.
Simion Poienaru liked to tuck little parties around his holy scenes—tiny figures dancing in the margins of Jesus’s resurrection, like uninvited guests who’d wandered in from a village wedding.
