I. Lowes

I. Lowes painted a single, unsigned portrait titled Portret de femeie. The work’s muted palette and careful attention to lace and hair suggest a late 19th- or early 20th-century hand. Its small scale and dark background echo the quiet realism practiced in Bucharest studios of the 1920s.

Take a closer look at Portret de femeie and notice how the sitter’s hands rest just at the edge of the frame.
