Iisus cu vița de vie is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Romanian Academy in Bucharest.
This drawing shows a bearded man with a golden halo sitting on a bench. He’s shirtless, wearing bright orange pants, and holds a golden cup in one hand. Behind him, a vine with blue leaves and red flowers climbs up, framing his head like a crown. The background is packed with bold colors—reds, blues, and greens—all outlined with tiny dots. The dots covering the leaves and background aren’t just decoration. They’re made using a technique called *stippling*, where artists build up shapes with repeated dots instead of solid paint. If you like this style, look up stippling to see how other artists use it.
