În grădină is a 1895 unspecified by Nicolae Grant, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A woman in a long, dark dress stands in a bright garden, her back to us. Wildflowers—purples, whites, and yellows—fill the foreground, swaying around her ankles. Behind her, a small church with a blue roof and a pointed steeple sits among leafy trees, its walls pale against the green. The woman’s dress is simple, but the garden bursts with color, almost too much to focus on. The flowers aren’t neat rows—they spill and overlap, like they grew wild. This painting uses impasto, where paint is laid on thick so you can almost see the brushstrokes.
