Lizuca (Portretul doamnei Lizuca Șoarec) is a work by Dimitrie Berea, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
The painting depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a dark-colored coat adorned with white fur trim around the collar and down the front. She also wears a dark hat with a white band. The background of the painting is a mottled brown color. The woman's face is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in her features. Her expression is neutral, and she appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet dignity and reserve. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face and emphasizing her features.
Dimitrie Berea made prints and paintings of people in early 20th-century Romania.
