About this work

This painting shows an older woman with soft gray hair, dressed in a light gray shawl. Her face is calm, with gentle lines around her eyes and mouth. Behind her, a blurry green and yellow landscape suggests an outdoor setting, but the focus stays on her. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the painting a warm, lived-in feel. The artist didn’t smooth out every detail—some areas, like her hair, look almost sketchy. Next, check out Maniu-Mützner, Rodica to see more of her work.
