"St. Hierarch Nicholas Church, Chisinau"
The work is a sepia engraving made using the Ac sec technique, notable for its intense use of hatching that creates texture and shadows. The subject is the St. Hierarch Nicholas Church, a building with elaborate architecture, flanked by massive trees and tall grass. The style gives the scene a historical, dramatic and intensely detailed atmosphere.
