This piece is a Transylvanian icon from the early 1700s, painted by Zugravul Nistor Dascălul. It shows the Annunciation, where the archangel Gabriel brings news to the Virgin Mary, holding a lily for purity. The figures wear draped robes in deep reds and blues against a geometric tiled floor and distant church walls. A golden star opens above, and a white dove descends, marking the Holy Spirit. Look for the fine brushwork in the folds of fabric and the careful balance of warm, glowing colors. Next, explore another icon from Rășinari, where similar craftsmanship shines.
