La cules de cartofi is a 1930 by Camil Ressu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows five people working in a field. The two on the left are bending over, maybe picking something from the ground. One stands with arms raised, wearing a light-colored hat and apron. The others are dressed in simple, earthy clothes, with one child crouching nearby. The background is a wide, open landscape with faint lines that look like rows of crops. The colors are mostly muted, but the white aprons and hats stand out against the brown and green tones. The brushstrokes are loose, giving a rough, textured feel to the scene. Check out the technique: impasto next to see how thick paint layers create texture.
