Sitari is a 1931 by Paul Verona, depicting frying pan, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a dark, rounded shape in the center—a frying pan—with a brush leaning against it. The pan sits on a rough, greenish table, and behind it, a blue wall and a messy pile of objects blur into thick, colorful strokes. The brush has a red handle, and the whole scene looks like it was painted quickly, with visible brush marks. The title *Sitari* hints this might be a simple kitchen scene, but the loose brushwork makes it feel more like a quick sketch than a polished picture. The colors are bold but muddy, almost like the artist was experimenting. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s texture.
