About this work

The painting depicts a woman sitting on the beach, holding an umbrella in her right hand. She is dressed in a long, flowing white dress that appears to be blowing in the wind. The background of the painting is a grayish-blue color, with waves crashing against the shore. The woman's face is not clearly visible, but her posture suggests that she is looking out at the sea. The umbrella she is holding is black and appears to be providing her with some shade from the sun. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and tranquility. The use of impasto technique in this painting adds texture and depth to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and the waves. To learn more about the artist's use of impasto, look up Petrașcu, Gheorghe.
