This is an empty canvas stretched over a wooden frame. The wood shows wear, with some paint chips and a few handwritten notes on the back—numbers and letters in pencil. The canvas itself is plain, with no visible brushstrokes or colors. The painting’s title, *Primăvara*, means "spring" in Romanian, but the blank surface gives no hint of what it might have looked like. Check out the technique: impasto to see how artists build thick, textured paint layers.
