About this work

Overview

Anuței Mircea coleg is a pencil sketch created by Teodor Hrib around 1950, currently housed at the Museum of Ethnography. The work presents a profile view of a person's face, characterized by loose and varied line weights, suggesting an informal or preliminary study.

Subject & Meaning

The subject of the sketch is Anuței Mircea coleg, identified by handwritten notation at the bottom of the work. The portrait's simplicity and lack of contextual details focus attention on the individual's facial features, though the overall impression remains more about the act of sketching than a deep character study.

Technique & Style

Executed in pencil, the sketch features loose, expressive lines, with quick, gestural strokes for the hair and faint outlines for the nose and cheekbones. Smudges from varied pencil pressure are evident, contributing to the piece's spontaneous, unfinished appearance.

History & Provenance

Created circa 1950 by Teodor Hrib, the sketch is now part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography. The absence of a dated signature suggests it may have been a personal or informal work.
