Autoportret Ligia Macovei (1938) is a 1938 by Ligia Macovei, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a close-up of a person’s face and shoulders. The brushstrokes are bold and uneven, with bright colors—reds, greens, and yellows—that stand out against the rough texture. A dark hat sits on their head, and a leafy plant peeks into the frame from the right side. The artist used thick, visible strokes to create the image, giving it a lively, almost sketchy feel. This style makes the face feel immediate and real. If you like this look, try searching for *impasto*.
