Portretul doamnei Fălcoianu is a 1887 unspecified by Theodor Aman, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This is a close-up portrait of a woman in a dark dress with lace at the neck. Her hair is pulled back under a dark hat with a feather. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her face and shoulders. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her collar and sleeves, giving a textured look. Her expression is calm but serious, with a slight tilt to her head. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
