1871
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Dominant colour
Petrecere cu lăutari/ Două schițe (verso) is a 1871 by Theodor Aman, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows two quick outdoor scenes. The top half has a group of people sitting around a long table under trees, eating and talking. The bottom half shows a woman in a white dress sitting on the grass, holding something in her lap, with a dog nearby. The brushstrokes are loose and fast, like the artist sketched it on the spot. The colors are soft and natural—greens, browns, and earthy tones. Look up *impasto* next to see how thick paint is used in some paintings.
Theodor Aman (20 March 1831 – 19 August 1891) was a Romanian painter, engraver and art professor. He mostly produced genre and history scenes.
