About this work

This painting shows a seated farmer in a dark coat against a shadowy background. His hands rest on his knees. The light hits his face just enough to see tired eyes and a thick mustache. Maria Cabadaeff-Drăgan painted this with thick, rough brushstrokes. They leave texture on the canvas like dried soil. The colors are deep browns and blacks, with only a hint of red in his scarf. Look for more work by Cabadaeff-Drăgan, Maria at the Museum of Ethnography.
