FETIȚĂ is a 1937 unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a close-up of a person’s face and hat. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on the hat and hair, which are painted in bold reds and browns. The skin looks soft but is also painted with quick, uneven strokes, leaving some areas lighter than others. The artist didn’t smooth out the details—it feels like they were painted fast, almost like a sketch. The hat’s shape is clear, but the face blends into the background in spots. If you like this loose, expressive style, look up impasto.
