Iarna is an unspecified by George Catargi, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a snowy forest scene with tall birch trees standing in the snow. The bark on the trees is white and peeling, and the ground is covered in a thick layer of snow. In the background, there’s a fence and some distant buildings half-hidden by trees. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially on the tree trunks, giving them a textured look. The light hits the snow and trees from the side, creating shadows that make the scene feel quiet and still. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
Romanian painter George Catargi left two works in this bundle: the 1942 etching *Portret de femeie* and the larger oil *Iarna*.
