Profesorul George Capșa la vârsta de 8 ani is a 1884 unspecified by Theodor Aman, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
A young boy sits in front of a dark red curtain, holding a small object wrapped in cloth. His hair is pulled back, and he wears a dark coat with a white collar and bow tie. The background is plain, focusing all attention on him. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on his face and hands, giving the painting a textured look. This makes the colors pop, like the red curtain behind him. Try looking up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
