1894
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Dominant colour
Fată cu salbă is a 1894 by Sava Henția, a Academic Art work, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a woman with a serious expression. She’s wearing a white blouse with red embroidery on the sleeves and a layered necklace—one part is blue beads, the other is gold coins. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she has a small nose ring. The gold coins on her necklace are a striking detail. They look like real money, which was sometimes used as jewelry in older times. If you like this style, look up Realism next—it focuses on everyday life and real people.
Sava Henția (1 February 1848, Sebeșel - 21 February 1904, Sebeșel) was an Imperial Austrian-born Romanian painter, decorator and illustrator.
