Anisia Grozda : “the Romanian Blouse 1928”

Anisia Grozda (20th century): "The Romanian blouse", oil on canvas mounted on cardboard 58.5 X 45.5 cm. Signed and dated 1928 lower right, titled "Românca" (Romanian) and countersigned with address on the back. Fixing holes in a frame around the edge. Twelve years ahead of Matisse's painting of the same subject, this one is still more classical! But, treated in a pretty touch with a nuanced palette and giving pride of place to the light, this young Romanian woman with a sweet smile posing seated leaning on the back of a chair, dressed in her most beautiful traditional outfit with rich embroidery and adorned with jewelry, is of a strong presence. My research on the Artist led me to a virtuoso pianist and a painter, probably the same one. To be explored further for those who speak Romanian!
