About this work

Overview

Bazarul is a drawing by Emilia Dumitrescu, created around 1950. It is a lightly sketched work on paper, framed in dark wood, and is held at the Museum of Ethnography.

Subject & Meaning

The title Bazarul, meaning 'market' in Romanian, suggests a scene of commerce or trade, but the faint pencil marks offer little indication of the artist's original intention.

Technique & Style

The drawing features light pencil lines, some of which are smudged or barely visible, giving the impression of an unfinished or erased work. The use of pencil in this way may be related to techniques such as stippling.
