Bătrână is a 1940 unspecified by George Löwendal, held at Octavian Goga Memorial Museum.
This painting shows a side view of an older person wearing a dark hooded cloak. Their face is half-lit, with shadows under the nose and chin. The hood drapes over their shoulder, and the background is plain and light. The artist focused on the play of light and dark on the face and fabric. This makes the textures pop—like the wrinkles in the skin and the folds of the cloak. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
