COMPOZIȚIE - BĂIAT is a 1941 by Micaela Eleutheriade, depicting Short, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This quick sketch shows a person standing sideways, mostly naked except for a dark, simple cloth around their waist. Their arms hang loose, and their feet are bare. The background has a few loose lines—maybe trees or plants—and a pair of glasses lies on the ground. The artist signed it in the corner, but the drawing feels more like a fast study than a finished work. The lines are light and uneven, like they were drawn in one go. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shapes with layers of lines.
Micaela Eleutheriade (1900–1982) was a noted Romanian painter and engraver. She was a descendant, through her mother, of the painter Gheorghe Tattarescu, the pioneer of neoclassicism in Romania.
