Sfântul Stelian is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting saint, held at Romanian Academy in Bucharest.
This drawing shows a robed figure with a halo holding a smaller figure in their arms. The background is a dark blue with gold accents, and the main figure wears a red-orange robe. The colors are faded but still stand out against the worn edges of the paper. The faded lines on the right side of the image look like a cross, possibly part of the original drawing. The paper itself has a lot of wear, with some text barely visible in the top right corner. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
