About this work

Overview

“Portret de femeie,” attributed to Paul Miracovici, dates from around 1949 and is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The work is presented as a portrait of a woman, though the visible side of the canvas is turned away, emphasizing the object's material condition rather than its figurative content.

Technique & Style

The painting rests in a light‑colored wooden frame whose surface shows a weathered, cracked texture, suggesting repeated handling. The canvas itself is a muted green‑gray, marked by darker spots, streaks, and faint, indistinct lines that convey a sense of age and wear, as if the work has been displayed for many decades.

History & Provenance

Created circa 1949, the portrait entered the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings at an unspecified date. Its presence in an ethnographic context may reflect the institution’s broader interest in cultural representation, yet the work’s documented history beyond its current location is not recorded in the available sources.
