Schiță pentru portretul lui Miron Radu Paraschivescu

About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a young man with dark hair and a serious expression. His face is mostly pale, with a slight shadow under his nose and a red collar peeking from under his dark jacket. The background is messy—swirls of orange, yellow, and brown paint, like it was brushed on quickly. The signature in the corner reads "Margareta Sterian," but the face looks unfinished, almost sketchy. The paint is thick in some spots, especially on his collar and forehead. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
