Cap de țigancă is an unspecified by Nicolae Grigorescu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a woman wearing a white headscarf tied loosely under her chin. Her dark hair peeks out from under it, and her face is turned slightly to the side. The background is a deep, dark color, making her skin and scarf stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on her scarf and neck. This gives the painting a rough, almost handmade feel. Look up *impasto* next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Romanian painter Nicolae Grigorescu made quiet, honest scenes of everyday life and country roads around 1900.
