Orthodox icon: Martyrdom of St. Martyr Varvara, by being pulled on a wheel. The scene of the martyrdom unfolds in two distinct parts, framed in a rectangle.

The painting is naive, authentic in tempera colors, painted in oil directly on the surface of the wood. Specific to Moldavian art from the 19th century.
