Nobil din sec. XVIII is a 1850 unspecified by Gheorghe Lemeni, depicting hair, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a person with curly hair and a serious expression. They’re wearing a dark, patterned cravat and a light-colored shirt. The background is plain and dark, focusing all attention on the face and shoulders. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on the hair and clothing, giving it a textured look. The face stands out because of the contrast between light and shadow. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
