Cap de tânăr is a 1850 unspecified by Ion Andreescu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting presents a portrait of a young man, depicted from the chest up. His dark hair is neatly styled, and his gaze is directed downward to the left. The subject's skin tone is rendered in a warm, golden hue. The background of the painting is a deep, rich green, which provides a striking contrast to the subject's skin. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the focus squarely on the young man's face and upper body. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Andreescu, Ion.
