Carambolașul
1927
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Carambolașul is a 1927 by Aurel Jiquidi, depicting Playing, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This sketch shows a group of men in dark robes leaning over a long table. They’re playing a game with small balls and long sticks, all hunched forward like they’re focused on the same move. The background is blurry, but you can tell they’re indoors, maybe in a dim room. One guy in the center is mid-motion, his stick about to tap a ball. The others watch closely, some holding their sticks ready. The artist used quick, rough lines to show the energy—no smooth shading here. If this scene intrigues you, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
