Fântână la Plevna is a 1913 unspecified by Camil Ressu, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting depicts a scene of two men gathered around a well in the middle of a street. The well is a central feature, with one man standing beside it and the other kneeling, possibly drawing water. The setting appears to be a quiet, rural or small-town environment, with buildings visible in the background.
