About this work

This painting shows a faded, shadowy scene with dark shapes that look like people or animals moving in a dim space. The colors are mostly muted—soft grays and browns—with some darker patches that stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the paint was scraped on. The title *Călcatul rufelor* hints at something called "the trampling of red things," but it’s unclear what that means here. The painting feels worn, as if time or use has blurred the details. If you’re curious about how artists use thick paint like this, look up *impasto*.
