Sfântul Haralambie cu Ciuma

About this work

This drawing shows a robed figure with a long beard and a halo, holding a green tablet with symbols. Two smaller figures kneel beside them, one on each side. The background is packed with bright colors—reds, blues, yellows—and lots of patterns, like flowers and swirls. The figure’s face looks calm but serious, and their hands hold a staff and a book. The word *CAMREC* is written above the figure’s head, which might be a clue to their identity. The way the lines are drawn—especially the beard and robes—looks like a technique that builds up shading with lots of tiny strokes. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth like this.
