From the collection of Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca
Negustorul cel mic is a 1923 unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
A person sits on the floor, leaning against a wall. They wear a red vest over a light shirt with dark spots, and brown boots. In front of them is a small wooden box with a red cloth inside. A dog sits nearby, looking down. The painting uses bold brushstrokes and dark shadows to create a warm, earthy feel. The person’s face is simple but expressive, with a slight smile.

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.
