Bărbat cu barbă is a 1886 by Sava Henția, a Impressionism work, depicting portrait, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This is a round portrait of a man with a thick mustache and beard. He’s wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and a bow tie. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on his face. The painting uses soft shading to show depth in his facial features. It looks like it was made in 1886. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
