A bătut iarna la poartă is a work by Buzatov Petre, depicting House, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a rough, textured scene of a house with a slanted roof covered in snow. Bare tree branches stretch across the top, their lines sharp and dark against the white. The walls look old, with peeling paint and a mix of brown, gray, and blue patches. A small window peeks out near the bottom, and the ground below is a dark, muddy color. The brushwork is thick and uneven, almost like the paint was scraped on. It gives the whole scene a raw, unfinished feel, as if the artist was in a hurry or wanted to show the weathered look of the house. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
