Tabietul is a 1901 by Constantin Daniel Stahi, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This is a portrait of an older man with a long white beard and mustache. He’s wearing a black suit and white bow tie, holding a small object in his right hand. On the table in front of him sits a glass of dark liquid, maybe wine or beer, and a small black case that looks like a pocket watch holder. The artist paid close attention to the man’s wrinkles and the way light hits his face. The background is plain, so the focus stays on him and his expression. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next—it’s the technique of using strong light and dark contrasts.
