Vânzătorul de lămâi is a 1650 unspecified by Unknown, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man and a child sitting close together. The man wears a dark hat and a warm brown coat, smiling as he looks at the child. The child, in a light dress, is eating something from a basket between them. The basket holds round, yellowish objects—maybe fruit—and the background is dark, making their faces glow. The lighting focuses on their faces and hands, creating a soft contrast. The artist used shadows to make the scene feel cozy and intimate. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
