Scrumbii is a 1950 by Hrandt Avakian, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a fish lying on a rough, textured surface. The fish has a golden-brown body with darker fins and a slightly open mouth. Around it are some green leaves and a small red object that looks like a fruit or berry. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, almost handmade feel. The fish is the main focus, but the messy background makes it stand out even more. The colors are simple—mostly earthy browns, greens, and a pop of red—but the way they’re painted feels alive. If you like this style, check out impasto.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
