1871
From the collection of Visual Art Museum Galați
La masă is a 1871 by Theodor Aman, a Academic Art work, held at Visual Art Museum Galați.
This sketch shows two figures sitting on a bench in an outdoor setting. One person leans back, relaxed, while the other rests their head on their hand. The background is filled with quick, scratchy lines that suggest trees or bushes. The artist used a lot of thin, overlapping lines to build up the shading—this is called cross-hatching. It gives the drawing texture and depth. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how other artists use this technique.
Theodor Aman (20 March 1831 – 19 August 1891) was a Romanian painter, engraver and art professor. He mostly produced genre and history scenes.
