Sfinții Nicolae și Ioan Botezătorul is a 1850 unspecified by Unknown, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Composition, held at Alba Iulia Unification National Museum.
This painting shows two men standing side by side. The man on the left wears a blue robe with gold trim, a tall hat, and holds a book. The man on the right has a beard, a simple brown robe, and carries a long staff. Both have golden halos behind their heads, and the background is mostly green with faded orange and black marks. The writing above their heads looks like old Greek letters, which might be their names. The paint is thick in some spots, especially on the gold parts. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
