Cadână citind is an unspecified by Theodor Aman, depicting Reading, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
A woman in a loose white dress and head covering sits on a red-and-brown striped cloth outdoors. She leans on one elbow, resting her head in her hand as she reads a small book. A red umbrella lies open beside her, and a basket and a few scattered objects are nearby. The background is a blurry mix of green plants and dark trees. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. This makes the colors pop in some spots while blending into muddy patches in others. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works.
