Sfânta Cuvioasă Paraschiva is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Golești Viticulture and Pomiculture Museum.
This painting shows a serious-looking woman in old-fashioned robes. She has a golden halo behind her head and holds a cross in one hand. Her clothes are light-colored with some dark trim, and she wears a necklace with a cross pendant. The background is a flat blue, and the edges of the painting look worn and faded. Notice how the woman’s face is painted with simple, bold lines—almost like a sketch. The colors are bright but faded over time, giving it a slightly faded look. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
