Maica Domnului Îndurerată (Botezul Domnului) is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting Festoon, held at Romanian Peasant Museum.
This painting shows five figures in bright colors against a gold and blue background. The two standing men on the left wear red robes, with one pointing upward. The woman in the center has a blue skirt and a red top, standing between the two men. On the right, a seated woman in red holds a baby, while a small child kneels in front of them. Above them, a glowing figure with wings floats in a starry sky. The gold border at the top is decorated with repeating shapes that look like scrolls or ribbons. These are called festoons, often used in religious art to frame holy scenes. Next, look up festoon to see how artists used this design in other works.
