Femeie citind is a 1914 by Ștefan Dimitrescu, depicting Reading, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows an older person sitting indoors, wrapped in a dark, heavy coat. They’re holding an open book on their lap, looking down as if absorbed in the words. Behind them, a large woven basket rests on the floor, and a faded pillow leans against the wall. The colors are muted—earthy browns, soft grays, and a few scattered floral patterns in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the scene a lived-in, almost rough feel. It’s like the artist wanted to show real life, not a polished version. If you like this quiet moment, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
