Dominant colour
Personaj biblic - Arhiereu is a 1867 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, depicting Repose, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This drawing shows a bearded man in a long robe, holding a book and a staff. His outfit has crosses and a belt with a small pouch. The paper has faint pencil lines in the background, like a sketch half-finished. The man’s clothes look like those worn by religious leaders in old Christian art. The drawing feels like a study or a quick sketch rather than a polished work. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Gheorghe Tattarescu (Romanian pronunciation: ; October 1818 – October 24, 1894) was a Romanian painter and a pioneer of neoclassicism in his country's modern painting.
