Balcic is a 1931 by Nicolae Dărăscu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a shaded outdoor scene with a big tree hanging over a table. Under the tree, two people sit at a wooden table covered with a cloth. One person leans back, looking relaxed, while the other leans forward. The table has a basket, a cup, and some other items. In the background, a woman in a red headscarf stands near a building with potted plants and a bench. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The light and shadow play across the scene, especially under the tree’s branches. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
