Portret de țăran

About this work

This sketch shows a person’s head and shoulders from the side, their face half-lit. The artist used loose, quick strokes—some lines are bold, others smudged. The colors are earthy: warm browns, muted reds, and soft yellows in the skin tones. The face looks thoughtful, with a hand resting near the chin. The background is plain, keeping focus on the figure’s expression and the rough texture of the print.
