Constantin D. Aricescu is a 1869 by Mișu Popp, a academic_art work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This is a portrait of a man with a thick gray beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat over a white shirt and a dark tie. The background is plain and dark, so the focus stays on his face. The painting looks like it was done carefully, with soft shading on his face. The artist paid close attention to the light and shadow, especially around his beard and forehead. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro*.
