George Enescu is a 1932 unspecified by Ninette Carteret, held at George Enescu National Museum.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with short hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt and a jacket, and the background is plain. The lines are soft, especially around his face, and the artist signed it in the corner. The sketch looks like it was done quickly, focusing on the man’s face and shoulders. The shading is smooth, which makes his features stand out without harsh edges. Next, check out sfumato to see how artists use soft blending like this.
Ninette Carteret’s 1932 portrait of George Enescu offers a quiet moment with the Romanian composer.
