Cap de bărbat is a 1908 unspecified by Alexandru Carol Satmary, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This is a close-up portrait of a man’s head and shoulders. The paint looks rough and uneven, with dark shadows around his face and a lighter collar. His expression is serious, and the brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on his forehead and cheek. The background is almost black, making his face stand out. The painting doesn’t follow smooth blending—it feels more like quick, visible strokes. Try looking up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
