From the collection of Art Museum of Constanta
Femeie citind is a 1912 unspecified by Ipolit Strâmbu(lescu), depicting Reading, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
The painting features a woman with her head tilted slightly to the right, her eyes cast downward as if reading from a book held in her left hand. Her right hand supports her chin, and she wears a white head covering and a green garment. The background of the painting is a deep red hue. A quiet visual detail in the painting is the subtle play of light on the subject's face, which adds depth and dimension to the portrait.
