About this work
Overview
Created around 1950 by Romanian artist Teodor Hrib, this work is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. It consists of a single sheet bearing two quick, gestural sketches accompanied by a loosely rendered landscape in a watercolor‑like wash.
Subject & Meaning
The left drawing portrays a seated woman, her head supported by her hand, while the right depicts a boy in a cap, perched against a wall with a book on his lap. The accompanying background suggests an outdoor scene with a house and trees, hinting at a domestic or everyday setting.
Technique & Style
Hrib combines pencil line work with a light watercolor wash, producing a sketchy, spontaneous effect. The handling is economical, emphasizing contour and gesture over detail, and the faint script at the bottom appears to be Romanian, though it remains largely illegible.
History & Provenance
The piece dates to the early post‑war period in Romania and has remained in the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings since its acquisition, where it is displayed as an example of mid‑20th‑century Romanian drawing.
