Toma Poienaru
Toma Poienaru is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Transylvanian History.
A Romanian draftsman in the 1870s, Toma Poienaru made ink-on-paper drawings that capture quiet moments in everyday life. One of them, *Cina cea de Taină* (1871), shows a small group gathered around a table lit by a single oil lamp. The low light throws faces into gentle relief and leaves the edges of the room half in shadow. Look for the way the artist lets the quill pause at the edges of the hands—just enough to suggest warmth without losing the stillness. Next, tap the drawing itself to zoom in on those inked fingertips.
