1914
From the collection of Neamț National Museum Complex
Portret de femeie is a 1914 by Aurel Băeșu, held at Neamț National Museum Complex.
This is a close-up portrait of a woman with dark hair pulled back. She’s wearing a dark, simple dress with a high collar. The painting looks a little worn, with brushstrokes showing through in places. The label says it’s called *Portret de femeie*, which means "portrait of a woman." The artist used earthy browns and soft shadows to give the face a quiet, serious look. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro—it’s the technique of using strong light and dark contrasts to create depth.
Aurel Băeșu (26 May 1896 – 24 August 1928) was a Romanian Impressionist landscape and portrait painter. Many of his works show the influence of Nicolae Grigorescu; an influence that was common among painters of his generation.
