Țărancă pe laviță is a 1925 unspecified by Dumitru Ghiață, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a wooden chair inside a dim room. She wears a white headscarf, a dark vest over a light blouse, and a maroon skirt. The walls are plain, with a barred window letting in faint light. A small framed picture hangs on the wall behind her. Her hands rest calmly in her lap, and the brushstrokes are thick, especially on her clothing and the chair. The lighting focuses on her face, leaving the background dark. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this strong light-and-dark contrast works.
Dumitru Ghiață (22 September 1888 – 3 July 1972) was a Romanian landscape painter.
