Ștrengărița is an unspecified by Grigore Manea, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
The painting depicts a woman wearing a red headscarf and a dark blue top with a red and white striped scarf draped around her neck. She is shown from the waist up, with her body turned slightly to the left and her head turned back to face the viewer. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip. The background of the painting is a mottled mix of gray and brown hues, which provides a subtle contrast to the vibrant colors of the woman's clothing. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. For more works that explore the interplay of light and shadow, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
