Natură moartă cu cărți is a 1939 by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This print shows a stack of old books piled unevenly. The colors are mostly dark browns and grays, with some faded white and blue peeking from the pages. The books look worn, with torn edges and uneven surfaces. The title means "still life with books" in Romanian. The artist used simple shapes and shadows to give the stack depth.
