Portret de tânâr is a 1886 unspecified by Sava Henția, depicting Green, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a close-up of a person’s face and shoulders. The skin looks rough, almost textured, with a mix of brown and reddish tones. The background is dark and messy, blending into the face. The person is wearing a dark collar that stands out against their skin. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a gritty, unfinished feel. It’s like the artist didn’t smooth things out—just layered paint right on top. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Sava Henția (1 February 1848, Sebeșel - 21 February 1904, Sebeșel) was an Imperial Austrian-born Romanian painter, decorator and illustrator.
