Portret de fetiță

About this work

This painting shows a young girl with dark hair and a pale face. She’s wearing a light-colored dress with a high collar and a wide-brimmed hat tilted to one side. The background is dark and blurry, making her stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on her hat and dress, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Check out the technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold, tactile style.
