This painting shows a young Romanian peasant girl in a simple white blouse. Her dark hair falls loose. One hand rests on her cheek. The background is plain brown. Grigorescu lived in the 1800s. He often painted villagers like this girl. The face feels real. The rough brushstrokes catch light on her skin. If you like this quiet portrait, try another by Grigorescu, Nicolae.
