„Nicolae Iorga" is a work by Dan Băjenaru, held at National Museum of Romanian History.
This painting shows a man with a bald head and a long gray beard. He’s wearing a dark coat and a white collar, sitting at a desk with his hands resting on some papers. Behind him, shelves hold books, and a window lets in dim light. The colors are mostly dark blues and browns, with bright spots of red and yellow. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a rough, textured look. The artist didn’t smooth out the details—it feels more like a quick sketch than a polished portrait. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
