Portret de femeie - Mangalia is a 1850 by Lucia Dem-Bălăcescu, depicting Portrait, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This close-up shows a faded print with smudged colors. The top left corner has a soft pink shape, while the rest is mostly gray, black, and beige. The paint looks worn, with some areas peeling or scratched away. A small signature is scrawled in the bottom right. The title hints this might be a person’s face, but only hints remain. The colors are muddy, as if time or handling has blurred the original details. Look up *portrait* to see how artists capture faces in different ways.
Lucia Dem-Bălăcescu (1895–1979) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
