Maria D. Stahi is a 1874 unspecified by Constantin Daniel Stahi, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a woman with a serious expression. She’s wearing a dark hooded cloak with a red strip under her chin. Her hands rest on the cloak, and the background is a plain dark brown. The artist focused on her face and the play of light on her skin. The dark background makes her stand out, almost like a shadowy spotlight. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
