Moșiereasa Ana Balș is a 1852 unspecified by Niccolo Livaditti, a Impressionism work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, dressed in dark clothes with lace cuffs and a fancy necklace. Her hair is pulled back under a dark hat, and she holds a small keychain in her hand. Behind her, a red curtain frames the scene, with a blurry landscape of trees and a river in the background. The keychain she holds looks like it might be for a small box or lock—maybe it was important to her. The painting is from 1852 and focuses on real-life details rather than fancy ideas.

Niccolò Livaditti’s portraits feel like overheard gossip from the 1840s Bucharest salons—he painted the men who ran the place, their wives in stiff silk gowns, and the sons who’d inherit it all.
