Autoportret is a 1955 by Agafiței Costache, depicting Self-portrait, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a man in a dark jacket and a red cap, holding a rolled-up paper in one hand. His shirt is a checkered pattern of white, gray, and blue. The background is plain, with a hint of green and a curtain to one side. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on his face and hands, giving it a textured look. The lighting is simple, focusing on his face and hands while the rest fades into softer tones. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Agafiței Costache made prints and paintings of everyday Romanian life in the mid-20th century.
