Maica Domnului cu Pruncul is a 1864 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Golești Viticulture and Pomiculture Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a deep purple robe holding a small child. Around her stand two other figures—one with a scroll, the other holding a spear. Above them float two winged angels, and the background glows with a soft golden light. The colors are flat and bright, with gold halos around the heads of the central figures. The woman’s face looks calm, but her hands grip the child tightly. The scrolls and spear might be symbols, but it’s hard to tell without more context. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
