Iisus și Ioan copii is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Maramureș Ethnography and Folk Art County Museum.
This small drawing shows two bare-chested boys sitting close together. One holds a staff, the other leans in like he’s listening. Both have pale faces with dark outlines, and their heads are circled with light halos. The background is packed with big, flat flowers in red and green, and the edges look uneven, like the paint was brushed on quickly. The boys’ faces are simple but serious, almost like they’re meant to look holy. The halos and the way they’re posed suggest they might be religious figures, though the style feels more like a sketch than a polished painting. If you like this kind of old, simple religious art, check out the Museum of Ethnography—they’ve got more pieces like this.
