Nud (cu pisică) is an unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, depicting Portrait, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a barefoot person sitting on a rock, naked except for a small white cloth around their waist. Behind them, a pinkish curtain hangs loosely, and a black cat lies on the ground to the right. The skin tones are soft and warm, while the background is mostly gray and green. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on the skin, giving it a textured look. The person’s pose is relaxed, almost casual, with one arm resting on their knee. 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.
