From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Femei spălând rufe la râu is an unspecified by Giacomo Favretto, a Realism work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows two women bent over near a river. Their clothes are dark, and they’re handling something in the water. The ground looks rough, with rocks and dirt. One woman holds a basket by her side. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the scene feel gritty. The light hits their backs, leaving their faces in shadow. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this creates texture.
Giacomo Favretto (August 11, 1849 – June 12, 1887) was an Italian painter, mainly depicting genre subjects in Venice, his native city.
