Nicolae Apostol

Nicolae Apostol filled sketchbooks with scenes of village tricksters and country wit. The drawing *Păcală* shows a grinning rogue outsmarting authority with quick feet and sharper tongue. Little else is known, but the work belongs to a long tradition of Romanian visual humor that turns everyday mischief into art. See how Apostol turns a folk tale into a bold line drawing and then step into the next sketch in the bundle.
