Cap de copil cu fes is a 1933 unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a close-up of a child’s face. The skin is smooth and pale, with soft brushstrokes blending into a light yellow tone. The eyes are closed, and the child wears a dark, rounded hat that sits snugly on their head. The background is a muted green, barely visible behind the face. The hat’s shape and the child’s calm expression stand out. The paint is thick in some spots, giving it a textured look. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Nicolae Tonitza painted quiet still lifes and village scenes, often showing colorful vegetables on a table or blooming flowers in simple pots.
