Bărci cu pânze is a 1923 unspecified by Ștefan Popescu, held at Neamț National Museum Complex.
This painting shows three boats floating on calm water. The sails are bright—one greenish, one red, and one yellow—while the sky is soft with light clouds. In the distance, a faint city skyline sits low on the horizon. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the sails, giving them a textured look. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the ridges. Look up impasto to see how other artists used it.
Ștefan Popescu painted quiet scenes from the 1920s, blending everyday places with soft light.
