Interior oriental cu femeie culcată is a 1908 by Alexandru Carol Satmary, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a dimly lit room with a person lying on a red couch draped in blankets. The walls are dark, and a small table holds a framed picture and a few objects. A chair sits to the right, and the floor looks wooden with a striped rug. The artist used thick brushstrokes, making the colors feel rough and textured. The lighting is uneven, with some areas almost glowing and others staying shadowy. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
