About this work
Overview
The work titled “Case pe mal” is presented as a photographic image of the reverse side of a painted canvas. The picture captures the wooden frame that houses the artwork, emphasizing its materiality rather than the painted surface itself. This focus on the frame’s construction offers viewers a glimpse into the object's physical context and the modest presentation chosen for the piece.
Physical Description
The frame is fashioned from light‑colored wood, featuring a straightforward, unadorned profile that highlights the natural grain of the material. Its finish is left natural, allowing the wood’s warm tones to remain visible. A small white label affixed to the back bears handwritten Romanian text, indicating the title “Case pe mal” and the creator’s name, Paștină Horea, in a personal script.
Attribution
The handwritten label identifies Paștină Horea as the artist responsible for the work. While no further biographical details are supplied, the presence of the label suggests a direct, perhaps informal, method of documentation, typical of works circulated within regional or personal networks rather than through formal gallery channels.
