Mătușa Seiverth is a work by Henriette Bielz, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows an older woman sitting in a chair. She wears a white headscarf, a dark shawl, and a white apron with a painted design. Her hands hold a small object, and a cane leans against the chair. The background is plain, with a soft greenish tint. The artist painted her face with simple, direct brushstrokes—no fancy details. The apron’s design looks like a tiny landscape, almost like a hidden picture. Look up Bielz, Henriette next to see more of her work.
Henriette Bielz painted scenes of everyday life in late-19th-century Transylvania.
