Claie de fân is a 1850 by Mutzner Samuel, a Impressionism work, depicting tower, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a rough, textured landscape with a tall, dark shape in the center that looks like a tower or hill. The colors are mostly muted blues, grays, and whites, with some yellow and green brushstrokes near the bottom. The brushwork is thick and uneven, giving it a handmade, almost sketchy feel. The tower-like shape stands out because it’s the only clear form in the painting, while the rest blends into soft, fuzzy strokes. The artist used loose, quick brushwork, almost like scribbles, which makes the scene feel alive and unfinished. If you like this style, look up impasto.
