Autoportret is a 1957 by Hârtopeanu Petru, depicting head, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a person’s face and shoulders in a close-up portrait. The person wears a dark hat and a light collar, with a serious expression. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the hat and face. The label says this is a self-portrait by the artist, but we don’t know more about who they were. The painting looks like it was made quickly, with bold colors and rough edges. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
