Plăieșii is a 1912 unspecified by Ion Theodorescu-Sion, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a man in profile, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long coat. His face is turned slightly toward us, but his gaze is down. The colors are muddy and thick, with heavy brushstrokes that make the edges look uneven. The background is dark and blurry, focusing all attention on him. The painting’s rough texture stands out—it looks almost carved, not just painted. The artist used bold strokes to show light and shadow, making the man’s face pop against the dark. This technique is called impasto.
