1906
unspecified
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Femeie cu coc văzută din spate is a 1906 unspecified by Alexandru Carol Satmary, depicting Chignon, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a woman from behind, her hair pulled into a smooth bun at the nape of her neck. She’s wearing a simple, light-colored dress that drapes over one shoulder. The background is dark and blurry, making her stand out. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her hair and the shadowed areas, giving the painting a soft, slightly unfinished look. The contrast between light and dark helps her face and shoulders pop. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
Alexandru Carol Satmary (1870–1933) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
