Fata la oglindă is a 1960 unspecified by Imre Nagy, held at Székely National Museum.
This painting shows a person sitting outside, holding a small mirror up to their face. The background is bright and blurry, like sunlight through trees. The person’s skin and clothes are painted in warm, thick colors, with some dark shadows on their arms and legs. The brushstrokes are loose and textured, almost like the paint was applied with a knife. This gives the figure a rough, tactile look. If you like this style, check out impasto as a technique.
Hungarian painter Imre Nagy made everyday scenes feel real and warm in the 1900s.
