About this work

This is a faded sheet of paper with red handwriting. The words are messy and smudged, but you can make out a few things. The top says "Nuni Dona" and "pictorita acuarela," which means it’s a watercolor portrait. Below that, there’s a size written in German: "40 x 55." The paper looks old, with some stains and pencil marks in the corners. The handwriting notes this is a portrait of a woman named Nuni Dona. The paper also mentions "Bălăcescu" and "Sapiéntia," which might be the artist’s last name or a title detail. The writing is rough, like it was done in a hurry or by hand decades ago. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this work in person.
