Portul Ajaccio is a 1931 by Samuel Mützner, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a small boat on a beach, its sail down and ropes tangled. The shore is sandy, with a few rocks and a white cloth or bag lying near the water. Behind the boat, buildings and hills rise, painted in quick, rough brushstrokes—some areas look almost unfinished. The brushwork is thick in spots, especially on the boat and sky, giving it a textured look. The colors are mostly muted, but the sail stands out as a bright white. Look up impasto next to see how this thick paint technique works.
