About this work

This drawing is packed into small boxes. Each box shows people in robes, some standing, some kneeling. Bright colors like gold and red stand out against duller browns. One figure floats above a red platform, surrounded by light. The edges look worn, like old wood. The center figure is lifted up by ropes. The writing below is in another language. This was made in 1837 by one person. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.

About the artist

Artist

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.
