Constantin G. Cantacuzino cu turban (1793 - 1877) is a 1817 unspecified by anonim, depicting Portrait, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a man with a thick beard and dark hair, dressed in bright red robes. His turban is decorated with colorful embroidery, and gold buttons line his blue vest. One hand holds a chain with a small object at the end, while the other rests on his chest. The painting focuses on his face and clothing, skipping any background. The colors are bold, especially the red and gold, which stand out sharply. If you like this style of lighting and shadow, look up *chiaroscuro*.
This anonymous painter made small religious scenes with bold, flat colors and shaky lines, following old church traditions.
