Nud de femeie is a 1955 unspecified by Bălan Viorica, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a woman standing sideways, her back turned to us. She’s naked except for a dark hat tilted low over her face. The colors are warm—peachy skin, a greenish robe draped over her arm, and a red-orange wall behind her. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the paint look almost textured. The way the light hits her body and the dark hat creates a strong contrast. That’s called *chiaroscuro*—a technique that uses light and shadow to shape forms. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use it to make paintings feel dramatic.
Bălan Viorica painted intimate scenes and quiet landscapes, often focusing on figures and seasonal moods in and around Iași.
