Bas Relief - Alexandru Plămădeală Republican College of Fine Arts

This relief from the Alexandru Plămădeală Republican College of Fine Arts in Chisinau shows a modern figure in simple dress gazing toward Prince Vladimir the Great, who raises the cross as a symbol of the Christianization of Rus’. Wreaths of flowers frame the scene, hiding a naked woman on the left and a man milking a sheep below. It is executed in white plaster, giving it a marble-like appearance, though it's been painted over.
