Regele Mihai I is a 1941 by Aurel Bordenache, held at National Museum of Romanian History.
This print shows a young man in a dark military coat standing by a rocky shore. His uniform has shiny buttons and a badge on his chest, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. Behind him, the sea is choppy, with a small boat far out on the water and stormy clouds in the sky. The coat’s folds and the way light hits his face suggest the artist knew how to use shadows and light. The waves and sky look painted quickly, almost like brushstrokes on a rough surface. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
