Cap de bătrân is a 1936 unspecified by Rudolf Schweitzer-Cumpăna, held at Argeș County Museum.
This painting shows a close-up of a face with thick, textured brushstrokes. The colors are mostly dark browns and yellows, giving it a rough, almost grainy look. The background blends into the face, making it hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. The way the paint is applied looks heavy, almost like it was scraped on. This makes the face feel raw and real, not smooth like some portraits. If you like this style, look up impasto.
