1884
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Femeie privind un tablou pe șevalet/Femeie cu mască, în costum național (verso) is a 1884 by Theodor Aman, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows two women in a cozy room. One sits on a chair, dressed in a black-and-white patterned dress with a red bag, looking at a small framed picture on an easel. The other stands, wearing a bright, floral-patterned dress with a mask over her eyes, holding a fan. The brushstrokes are loose and thick, giving the scene a lively, almost sketchy feel. The women’s clothes look like they’re from a different time, with bold colors and fancy details. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint like this creates texture.
Theodor Aman (20 March 1831 – 19 August 1891) was a Romanian painter, engraver and art professor. He mostly produced genre and history scenes.
