La umbră; Verso: Profil de femeie is a 1850 unspecified by Theodor Aman, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows two people by a riverbank. One sits on the grass, wearing a light-colored blouse and a dark skirt, looking down. The other stands farther back, holding what looks like a long stick or tool, dressed in a striped shirt and dark pants. The background is a rough, dark forest with a faint river running through it. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a sketchy, unfinished feel. The colors are muted, with earthy browns and greens blending into the landscape. If you like this style, look up impasto.
