Sfântul Evanghelist Matei is a 1850 by Unknown, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a bearded man in a dark robe, holding an open book with strange writing. His face is serious, and he looks like he’s deep in thought. The background is a flat gold color, and the edges of the painting have a red border. The book he’s holding has text in an old script—likely not something you’d read today. The way the lines on his robe are drawn looks like they might be made with a repeated mark. If you’re curious about how artists create texture with small lines, look up *cross-hatching*.
