1922
unspecified
From the collection of Iași National Museum of Romanian Literature
Profira Sadoveanu is a 1922 unspecified by Aurel Băeșu, a Romanesque work, held at Iași National Museum of Romanian Literature.
This painting shows a woman with short dark hair, a red flower tucked behind her ear, and a high collar. Her face is turned slightly toward us, with a calm expression and soft pink lips. The background is blurry, mostly warm yellows and greens, with a hint of a dark shape behind her. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her hair and the background, giving it a slightly rough texture. The colors are bold—her red flower and collar stand out against the softer tones of her skin. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow to shape faces.
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.
