Cârciumărese is a 1927 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a dark, crumpled cloth holding a bunch of flowers. The petals are deep red and purple, some with yellow centers, and they look slightly wilted. The background is mostly black, with some faint white and gray brushstrokes that make the flowers stand out. The flowers are painted thickly, almost like they were slapped onto the canvas in wet strokes. This gives them a rough, textured look. The dark cloth underneath looks crinkled and uneven, too. Try looking up *impasto* to see how this thick paint technique works.
Gheorghe Petrașcu painted quiet scenes of buildings, streets, and still lifes in the 1920s and ’30s Romania.
