Tânără spaniolă (Fantini) is a 1850 by Iosif Iser, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a close-up of a woman’s face and shoulders. Her hair is dark, pulled back, and her skin is painted in soft, warm tones. She’s wearing a red garment with a blue button near her collar. The background is a mix of bold reds and greens, with brushstrokes that look thick and textured. The woman’s expression is calm, almost neutral, with a slight tilt to her head. The paint is applied in quick, visible strokes, giving the portrait a lively, unfinished feel. This style reminds you of the impasto technique.
