This painting shows a person walking through a dry, grassy field. They’re wearing a dark coat, a wide-brimmed hat, and a belt around their waist. In one hand, they hold a stick, and a small animal—maybe a goat—hangs from their other arm. The background has distant hills and a pale sky. The person’s face is plain but calm, and the brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy in spots. The colors are earthy, with muted greens and browns. Look up Lucian Grigorescu next to see more of his work.
