Portret de bătrân is a 1850 unspecified by Ștefan Șoldănescu, depicting Portrait, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a close-up of an older man with a bald head and a white beard. His face is lit from above, leaving the background mostly dark. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially around his neck and shoulders, giving the painting a textured look. The lighting focuses on his face, making his skin look warm and slightly wrinkled. The dark background makes him stand out, drawing your eye right to him. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
A Romanian artist who painted portraits and figure studies in the late 19th century, Ștefan Șoldănescu left behind works like *Un băiat italian* (1893) and *Nud de bărbat*.
