Maica Îndurerată is a 1850 by Unknown, held at "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
This drawing shows a woman with a pale face and dark, simple features. She wears a green-and-gold headpiece with flowers and beads, and a long, patterned scarf. Behind her, a smaller figure in white and blue stands with arms raised, holding a staff. The background is filled with small, scattered shapes—like leaves, coins, and crosses—painted in flat colors. The woman’s face is mostly blank, with just a hint of a frown. The gold details on her headpiece catch the light, making them stand out against her plain skin. The smaller figure looks like it might be pointing or praying, but their face is just as simple. If you like this style, look up stippling.
