1927
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Femeie cu umbrelă is a 1927 by Ipolit Strâmbu(lescu), held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A woman in a long white dress stands in a garden, bending slightly to pick a flower. She holds a large white umbrella over her head, shielding herself from the sun or rain. The background is lush with green leaves and bright red stems, while a building peeks out behind the foliage. Notice how the paint blends smoothly on her dress, almost like layers of light and shadow. The artist used this to make her look soft and real. Look up sfumato next to see how this technique works.
Ipolit Strâmbulescu, known as Ipolit Strâmbu, was a Romanian painter best known for his portraits of women, which ranged from domestic scenes to nudes.
