Zădărnicia is a 1650 unspecified by Heinrich Johann Schonfeld, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a group of people in a landscape. On the left, a man in a dark robe holds a staff and talks to a man wearing only a white cloth. In the background, there's a large building with a tall column and a cloudy sky. In the foreground, there are objects on the ground that are hard to make out. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume. You can learn more about this technique by looking up chiaroscuro.
Schönfeld had a habit of sketching at cafés in 1920s Cluj, listening more than talking, while his friends debated politics and art.
