Lica is a 1902 by Ștefan Luchian, a Art Nouveau work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a woman with dark hair tied back under a white headscarf. She’s wearing a bright red dress and looks off to the side, her face half-lit. The background is a warm brown with a few leafy branches peeking in. The artist used bold colors and loose brushstrokes to keep the focus on her face. The lighting makes her cheekbones stand out against the darker background. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other art.
