Icoană pe sticlă „Răstignirea” is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Ethnographical Museum of Transylvania.
This small framed picture shows a central figure nailed to a cross, arms spread wide. Two robed people stand on either side, looking up. The background is bright orange with gold stars and writing in another language. The colors are flat, with no shading—just bold outlines and solid blocks of color. The central figure’s face is calm, even though the scene is intense. The robed figures hold what look like cloth bundles, maybe towels or gifts. The writing at the top is likely a title or prayer in a non-Latin script. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* next to see how artists create depth with lines.
