Portret Magda Nemțeanu is a 1922 by Aurel Băeșu, held at Ion Irimescu Art Museum.
This painting shows a woman with dark hair and pale skin, looking straight ahead. She wears a light-colored dress with a cross necklace. The background is mostly dark, making her face stand out. The artist used soft brushstrokes, especially on her skin and hair, which gives the painting a gentle look. The cross necklace is a small but noticeable detail. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
