Sfântul Ierarh Nicolae is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Romanian Peasant Museum.
This painting shows a bearded man in fancy robes holding a small box. He wears a golden crown and a halo, standing on a patterned carpet. Around him are smaller figures—some floating, some kneeling—all dressed in simple, bright clothes. The background is dark blue with gold stars and red flowers. The man’s name is labeled as *Nicolae*, and he looks like a religious leader. The small box he holds might be a symbol of his role. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
