1867
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Botezul is a 1867 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This drawing depicts a scene of a baptism, with several figures gathered around a baby. The baby is being held by a woman, while another woman kneels beside her, holding a bowl. A man stands to the left, looking on. In the background, there are several other figures, including a woman standing in a doorway. The scene is set in a simple, rustic environment, with a tent-like structure in the background. The drawing is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with careful attention to the textures and folds of the clothing. It appears to be a study or sketch, rather than a finished work.
