Martirul Eustatiu is a 1867 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, depicting Cross, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This sketch shows a robed man holding a round object in one hand and a staff in the other. His face looks tired, with deep lines and a serious expression. The paper is yellowed and torn at the edges, like it’s old. The drawing is mostly just lines, with no color or shading—just simple strokes to show shape. The man’s cloak looks heavy, and his hands are large and detailed. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
Gheorghe Tattarescu (Romanian pronunciation: ; October 1818 – October 24, 1894) was a Romanian painter and a pioneer of neoclassicism in his country's modern painting.
