Odaliscă pe gânduri (Paulina) is a 1850 by Iosif Iser, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman sitting sideways, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Her face is half-hidden under the hat’s shadow, and her green dress is thickly painted with quick, rough brushstrokes. The background is blurred, mostly warm yellows and grays, with a faint sky peeking at the top. The brushwork is loose and textured, almost like the fabric itself. The colors pop against the dark edges, making the figure stand out. Next, look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
