Bătrână pe fotoliu is a 1848 unspecified by Louis Gustave Richard, held at Romanian Academy in Bucharest.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a dark green dress with a white collar and cap. Behind her is a red cushion, and she holds something small in her left hand. The background looks like a dark, rough wall with faint marks or stains. Her face is lit softly, making it stand out against the shadowy background. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the painting texture. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Louis Gustave Richard painted quiet, careful portraits of people going about their days.
