Tăierea capului Sfântului Ioan Botezătorul is a 1877 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Romanian Peasant Museum.
This drawing shows a man in bright red and blue clothes holding a large sword above a fallen figure. Behind him, a woman in a long dress stands near an arched doorway. The background has simple buildings and a city skyline, with a bird flying near the bottom. The man’s pose looks like he’s about to strike, while the fallen figure seems to be reaching out. The painting’s colors are bold but flat, with a rough, sketchy style. If you like this kind of bold storytelling, look up cross-hatching next.
