Portretul Jeniței Irimescu is a 1956 by Corneliu Baba, held at Ion Irimescu Art Museum.
This is a close-up portrait of a woman’s face and shoulders. Her skin is painted in flat, warm yellows, while her dark eyes and eyebrows stand out clearly. A pink collar frames her neck, and her hair is pulled back with a simple bow at the top. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a rough, almost unfinished look. The background is a dark, textured green, which makes the face stand out even more. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for bold texture.
Corneliu Baba was a Romanian painter, primarily a portraitist, but also known as a genre painter and an illustrator of books.
