Sfânta Parascheva is a 1850 by Unknown, held at National Museum of Transylvanian History.
This painting shows three figures standing side by side. The person in the middle wears a red robe, a crown, and holds a long staff. The two figures on the sides have wings, halos, and robes with red and gray patterns. The background is simple, with a faint sky and some text written in a foreign script. The central figure looks like a holy person, possibly a saint, while the winged figures are likely angels. The way the robes are drawn with lines and shading gives them a textured look. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines like these.
