1933
unspecified
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Portretul tatălui artistei is a 1933 unspecified by Micaela Eleutheriade, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows an older man in a suit and tie, holding a cigarette in one hand. His glasses sit low on his nose, and he’s looking off to the side with a serious expression. The background is vague, with some faint lines that might be curtains or drapes. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the painting a warm, lived-in feel. The lighting focuses on his face, making his skin glow while the rest fades into soft shadows. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
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.
