Cap de fată is a 1850 unspecified by Nicolae Grigorescu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman looking straight ahead. She wears a dark dress with a white head covering pulled low over her forehead. The background is plain and dark, so her face stands out clearly. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her hair and clothing, giving a soft, textured look. Her expression is calm but serious, with a slight frown. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
