Portretul Colonelului Sorescu

About this work

This painting shows a shirtless man with short hair, looking straight ahead. His face is calm, with a slight shadow under his eyes. Behind him, a tree with thick branches frames part of the scene, and a blurry outdoor setting—maybe a village—fades into the background. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, especially in the background. The artist focused on the man’s face and shoulders, leaving the rest rough and quick. Look up impasto next—this painting uses thick paint that stands out in places.
