Eboșă cu un ghiveci de flori, ciclame, cu frunze verzi, scurte și cu două flori roșii cu tijă foarte înaltă. Fundal verde și brun. Semnat și datat dreapta jos, cu roșu: P. Hârtopeanu (1)961. is a 1957 unspecified by Hârtopeanu Petru, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a simple scene: a small terracotta pot with two tall cyclamen flowers—bright pink blooms and glossy green leaves—sitting on a windowsill. The pot is plain, the stems are thin and dark, and the petals are slightly wilted. Behind it, a pale green wall and a dark brown frame create a soft, muted background. The artist signed and dated it 1961 in the corner, but the style feels loose and quick, like a sketch. The paint is thick in spots, especially on the leaves and stems, giving them a textured look. If you like this, check out impasto—it’s the technique of laying paint on thickly, just like here.
Petre Hârtopeanu (15 June 1913, Dângeni, Botoșani County, Romania — 22 March 2001, Frankfurt-am-Main) was a Romanian-German painter and art professor.
