Sitari is a 1870 by Ion Andreescu, a Impressionism work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This print shows a bat hanging upside down from a wooden beam. The bat’s wings are spread wide, and its body looks dried out. The background is a plain, faded blue-gray, with the wood grain of the beam visible. The bat is the only thing in the picture, making it stand out clearly. The way it’s drawn feels simple but precise, focusing on its shape and texture. If you like this style, check out Realism next.
