About this work

This painting shows three figures in bright, flat colors. The person on the left has a golden halo and a beard, holding a crown over the head of the central figure, who wears a long orange robe and a smaller halo. To the right, another bearded figure in a striped robe watches, holding a round object. Above them, a glowing circle with rays surrounds a white birdlike shape. The crown and halos suggest this scene is about holy figures. The words "Sfânta Treime" (Holy Trinity) hint at a religious story, but the exact moment isn’t clear from the image alone. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
