About this work

This is a blank canvas with faded pencil notes in the corners. The top left has scribbled words in Romanian, and the bottom right shows a date and size (36x26). The paper is worn, with a few smudges and a red stamp marking "153" near the top right. The title *Grădina mea din Mangalia* means "My Garden in Mangalia," hinting at a lost painting of a garden. The notes suggest this was once a real artwork, but the canvas is now empty. If you like this idea, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see other lost or preserved works.
