About this work

A table holds two dolls in old-fashioned clothes, one sitting, one lying down. The room is dim, with only a small lamp glowing. The dolls look like they’ve just come from a party—tiny shoes kicked off, ribbons loose. The artist painted them with soft edges, so they almost feel real, like they could move if you blinked. No one knows when this was made, but the quiet moment makes it feel timeless. To see more of Michăilescu, Corneliu’s work, look up his name in the Museum of Ethnography’s collection.
