Portret de femeie is a 1922 unspecified by Marcel Janco, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a dim room. She’s dressed in a dark coat with a light scarf around her neck, holding a folded paper or cloth in her hands. Behind her, a small table holds a hat, a book, and a few other objects. The colors are mostly cool blues and greens, with some warm reds on her scarf and the background. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a rough, textured look. This style makes the colors pop and the shapes stand out more than smooth, detailed lines would. Try looking up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Marcel Janco painted still lifes and portraits in the early 20th century, blending bold colors and geometric shapes.
