Codrescu is an unspecified by Nicolae Grigorescu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This is a close-up portrait of a man in a dark coat and white collar. His mustache is neatly trimmed, and he wears a serious expression. The background is a deep, dark brown that blends into the edges of the painting. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, giving the face a slightly textured look. The lighting focuses on his face, leaving the rest of the painting shadowy. Check out the chiaroscuro technique for more on how light and shadow create drama.
Romanian painter Nicolae Grigorescu made quiet, honest scenes of everyday life and country roads around 1900.
