Vas gri cu carte is a 1850 by Hrandt Avakian, depicting Bead, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a wooden box with a red lid sitting on a table. The lid is slightly open, revealing a mix of yellowish objects inside—maybe fabric or cloth. The table is dark green, and the brushstrokes are loose, giving it a rough, textured look. The colors are bold, with the red lid standing out against the green background. The box looks old, with signs of wear on the wood. The yellow items inside are simple but catch your eye. The painting feels unfinished, like it was done quickly or left rough on purpose. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
