About this work

Overview

Peisaj cu bărci, attributed to Gheorghe Sârbu and dated to around 1929, belongs to the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The work presents an abstracted river scene rendered in a limited palette of browns and grays, suggesting a quiet, atmospheric landscape populated by indistinct boats.

Technique & Style

The composition is built up with visible brushwork that varies from thin, linear strokes to thicker, impasto passages, creating a tactile surface. The muted tonal range and lack of precise detail align the piece with early twentieth‑century modernist tendencies toward abstraction and emphasis on materiality.

History & Provenance

Created circa 1929, the painting entered the holdings of the Museum of Ethnography, where it is currently displayed. No further documented changes of ownership or exhibition history are recorded beyond its accession by the institution.
