About this work

This painting shows a simple still life: a few onions, a mortar and pestle, and a small pot on a rough table. The colors are earthy—browns, grays, and muted greens—with some green leaves scattered around. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, almost like the objects were painted quickly. The mortar and pestle look old and worn, with a stick half inside. The background is blurry, making the objects stand out more. The signature says "St. Dimitrescu" and the year 1947. If you like this style, look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture.
