Natură statică cu păpușă is a 1921 by Theodor Pallady, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A woman in a red dress sits at a table, her legs crossed. Next to her is a small wooden box, a bowl, and a plate with two bright oranges and a knife. Behind her, a gold-framed mirror hangs on a wall with blue-gray stripes. The tablecloth is red with a simple pattern, and her hands hold a string of beads. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, handmade feel. The oranges stand out against the muted colors around them. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
