Portret de femeie is an unspecified by Jean Alexandru Steriadi, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a woman with light gray hair, dressed in a dark, high-collared outfit. Her face is serious, with a neutral expression and a slight frown. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all focus on her. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her face and clothing, giving it a rough, textured look. The lighting is simple but highlights her features clearly. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint layers like this.
Romanian painter Jean Alexandru Steriadi left scenes of everyday life and ports in the early 1900s.
