Ghiocel is an unspecified by Nicolae Grigorescu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting, titled Ghiocel, depicts a white cow standing on a rocky surface. The cow's head is turned slightly to the right, and its horns are visible. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the lighter colors of the cow and the rocks. The cow is the main focus of the painting, and its presence is emphasized by the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. The painting's use of impasto, a technique that involves applying thick layers of paint to the canvas, adds texture and visual interest to the image. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography, and it is a great example of Nicolae Grigorescu's work.
