Madona cu Isus is a 1867 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
A woman in a red cloak and green hood sits holding a small child. The child wears a yellow cloth and holds a tiny cross. The background is plain with faint shapes of two faces on the sides. The woman’s face is calm, and the child looks forward. This print shows a religious scene, likely from a Christian tradition. The woman’s cloak has a rich red color, while the child’s skin is softly lit. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
