About the piece

This 1903 oil painting by Arthur Coulin is a masterclass in texture and traditional costume. Depicting women from the Burzenland region of Transylvania, the work highlights the luminous whites of linen sleeves, delicate translucent veils, and vibrant folk embroidery against a rich, shadowed background.
