About this work

Overview

Ploaie de toamnă is a worn and damaged painting, now reduced to a wooden frame with remnants of faded paint inside. The canvas is largely absent, with only a few smudges of color remaining.

Technique & Style

The surviving fragments suggest a once-figurative work, with light brown and red paint applied in a manner that is now difficult to discern. The overall condition makes it challenging to determine the original style or technique.

History & Provenance

Handwritten numbers and letters on the back of the frame indicate that Ploaie de toamnă was once part of a museum collection, possibly the Museum of Ethnography. The condition of the work suggests it may have been lost or damaged over time.

Mihai Bandac

Mihai Bandac carried a pocket sketchbook wherever he went, filling it with quick ink lines of rain on cobblestones or the way lamplight puddled on wet leaves.
