Portret de bătrână is a 1929 unspecified by Rodica Maniu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows an older woman in a dark dress and white head covering. Her hands rest in her lap, and the background is a rough, warm red with blurred shapes. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, especially on her face and clothing. The woman’s face looks calm but tired, with a slight smile. The painting feels raw, like the artist focused on capturing her expression more than perfect details. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s texture.
Rodica Maniu (1892–1958) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
