Tătăroaice is a 1939 by Micaela Eleutheriade, depicting character, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows two women in a simple room. One sits on the floor in a faded red dress, her head covered with a yellow cloth. The other stands behind her, wearing a bright red top and a long skirt with blue and white patterns. The walls are plain, with a few framed pictures and a vase of flowers on a shelf. The standing woman holds the seated woman’s shoulder, suggesting a quiet moment between them. The colors are bold but slightly rough, giving the scene a lived-in feel. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
