About this work

This is an empty wooden frame with a faded canvas inside. The frame looks old, with simple nails holding it together. On the back of the canvas, there’s some faded writing in cursive and a black ink stamp with the numbers "1756." The writing says "Peisaj cu vaci," which means "Landscape with cows" in Romanian. The canvas is plain and light-colored, but it’s clearly meant to hold a painting. If you’re curious about old paintings stored this way, check out the Museum of Ethnography.
