Nud. Verso: De vorbă, eboșă pentru Hora de la Aninoasa is a 1850 by Theodor Aman, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows two scenes. At the top, a woman lies on a bed, half-covered by a sheet. Her skin is pale, and the background is dark and blurry. Below, two people sit on a bench by water, dressed in light, flowing clothes. One holds a hat, and the other gestures toward the water. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the figures look soft but not perfectly clear. The top scene feels quiet and private, while the bottom one seems lively but faded. Look up impasto to see how thick paint like this creates texture.
