Autoportret cu natură moartă is a 1943 unspecified by Alexandru Szolnay, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a person wearing a dark hat and a light pink collar, looking off to the side. In front of them is a table with a bright yellow and red fruit bowl, plus a vase full of flowers—purples, yellows, and greens. The background is a plain wall with a faint pattern on the tablecloth. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The lighting is simple, focusing on the face and fruit without much shadow play. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works.
