Dominant colour
Portretul Anei Davila is a 1874 by Theodor Aman, a Impressionism work, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a woman with dark, wavy hair pulled back, wearing a dark dress with a high collar. Her face is serious, with a slight frown and steady gaze. The background is plain and dark, making her stand out. The brushstrokes are soft but visible, especially on her skin and hair. The lighting is subtle, focusing on her face while keeping the rest shadowy. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
Theodor Aman (20 March 1831 – 19 August 1891) was a Romanian painter, engraver and art professor. He mostly produced genre and history scenes.
