Woman Profile 

"Woman Profile" is a portrait painting by Romanian artist George Demetrescu Mirea, executed in a realist style. The painting depicts a woman's profile, showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to detail in capturing the subtle nuances of her features. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and shadow, enhances the three-dimensionality of the subject. The woman's head is tilted slightly, creating a sense of intimacy and introspection. Mirea, known for his portraits and historical paintings, produced this work sometime between 1852, his birth year, and 1934, his death.
