1867
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Apostolii Petru și Pavel is a 1867 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This sketch shows two men standing side by side, dressed in long robes that reach the ground. Their faces are simple, with short lines for hair and beards, and they hold what look like folded cloths in their hands. The paper is aged, with faint pencil marks and some smudges. The artist wrote small labels near each man’s head, though the words aren’t clear. The drawing feels quick, like a rough study rather than a finished work. If you like this sketch, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
