1848
unspecified
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Femeie cu turban is a 1848 unspecified by Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, a Biedermeier work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman sitting and holding an open book. She’s dressed in bright, patterned clothes—a blue turban with flowers, a white blouse with embroidery, and a long coat with gold trim. Her hair is dark and loose, and she’s wearing pearls. The background is simple, with a pale blue curtain behind her. The book she’s reading looks old, with pages that seem to have writing in it. Her expression is calm, like she’s lost in thought. The colors are rich but soft, with lots of detail in her clothes. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
Constantin Daniel Rosenthal (b.Rosenthal Konstantin, 1820 – July 23, 1851) was a painter and sculptor of Austrian birth and a Romanian 1848 revolutionary, best known for his portraits and his choice of Romanian Romantic nationalist subjects.
