From the collection of Art Museum of Constanta
Fetiță citind is a 1923 unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, depicting Reading, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting shows a girl sitting still, reading a book. She wears a simple dress and looks down at the pages. The room around her stays dark except for a soft light on her face and hands. Tonitza often painted children like this—quiet, focused moments. The colors are muted but warm, like sunlight through a window. His brushstrokes are smooth, giving the scene a gentle glow. This style reminds me of another Romanian painter. Look up Tonitza, Nicolae.
Nicolae Tonitza was a Romanian painter, engraver, lithographer, journalist and art critic. Drawing inspiration from Post-Impressionism and Expressionism, he had a major role in introducing modernist guidelines to local art.
