File:Headless Knight mural at Saint Nicholas in Curtea de Argeș.png

English: "Headless Knight" mural, tentatively dated to the 1370s, on the northeastern altar-pillar of Saint Nicholas Princely Church, Curtea de Argeș, Romania. May represent one of the unidentified knights or boyars buried on church grounds (see Pictura Bisericii Sfântul Nicolae Domnesc din Curtea de Argeș, Curtea de Argeș Museum, 2013, pp. 11–13). Romanian scholarship also interprets this as a portrait of a 14th-century prince of Wallachia, either Basarab I, Nicholas Alexander, or Vladislav Vlaicu (for overview and support for the Vlaicu hypothesis, see Nicolae Constantinescu, "Radu I Vv și scaunul domnesc din Argeș (II). Reconsiderări/completări/îndreptări", in Argesis. Studii și Comunicări. Istorie, Vol. XVIII, 2009, pp. 103–114).
The image was covered by 18th- and 19th-century frescoes and rediscovered in the early 20th century by Dumitru Norocea. The face was lost or vandalized at an earlier stage, when the mural was also partly covered in graffiti.
