Maica cu Pruncul-Axionița is a 1773 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, depicting Halo, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a red robe holding a boy. Both have golden halos around their heads. Behind them, two winged figures float in blue sky. The woman’s face is serious, her hands open as if blessing. The boy looks down, holding a small object. The gold background and halos suggest a religious scene. The writing around the edges is in another language, likely Greek. Look up halo to see how artists used light to show holy figures.
