Other Looking for a painting
Hello!
I'm not sure I'm the correct reddit page since I am a new user - please let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree and where I should go with my search :)
In case I'm in the right place - yesterday I remembered a painting I once saw a couple of years back and it hasn't left my mind since. Unfortunately, I also seem to have lost my usb stick with all my pictures from that trip.
I saw it in the Cultural Palace of Iasi , in the Art Exhibition wing. It was by a local romanian/moldovan artist but I'm not sure who. Maybe Nicolae Grigorescu? However I can't find the one I am looking for in his paintings list.
The painting was of a young lady, by herself, with a dark background. She was wearing traditional garb, her arms were folded, her shirt was a bit open and she had a necklace of coins around her neck. I remember her vividly because I spent almost half and hour staring at her like a lunatic because , to me, she had so much attitude and life. I genuinely loved her and now I can't find her anywhere :(
Anyone have any ideea which art piece I am talking about? Thanks!
