Portret de doamnă is a 1871 unspecified by Theodor Aman, a Impressionism work, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a woman with dark hair pulled back tightly, wearing a dark dress with a lace collar. Her expression is calm but serious, and she’s looking straight ahead. The background is plain and dark, so the focus stays on her face and shoulders. The artist used soft lighting to show the shape of her face and clothes. This style was common in portraits from that time. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
