Icoamare is a drawing by Unknown. It dates from 1850 and is held in the collection of the "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.
About this work
Overview
Icoamare consists of a light‑brown wooden panel, its surface smoothed but bearing faint, vertical scratches that run through the centre. The edges show signs of wear, and the grain of the wood follows a straight pattern. Small pencilled numerals, 25999, appear in opposite corners, suggesting a cataloguing or inventory mark.
Technique & Style
The panel measures roughly the size of a typical drawing support, with a uniform, slightly uneven texture that indicates hand‑planed preparation. The scratches are shallow, likely the result of tool contact or handling over time, and do not form any deliberate decorative pattern.
Context
Given its smooth, unpainted surface and the presence of inventory numbers, the board appears to have served as a backing or frame component for a drawing or other artwork, rather than as a finished piece in its own right. Such panels were commonly used in studios to support paper or canvas.
History & Provenance
The only identifying mark is the pencilled "25999" in the corners, which may correspond to a museum or collection accession number. No further documentation of ownership, artist, or date of creation is provided.
