About this work

This is a blank canvas with faded pencil writing. The words "Mamaia veche" are scrawled near the top, along with notes like "probabil 1876" and a number "924." There’s also a partial date "88596/149" and a few small circles and smudges in the corners. The notes suggest this might be a sketch or inventory label for a painting. The handwriting looks hurried, like someone jotting down details quickly. If you’re curious about where this might belong, check out the Museum of Ethnography.
