Arthur Garguromin Verona (1867–1946), Romanian painter with Macedo-Romanian origins, studied at Munich Academy of Fine Arts and at Julian Academy in Paris. He asserted himself as a painter in Romania in the last decade of the 19th century, being attracted by the wonderful works of Nicolae Grigorescu, who inspired him to paint peasant people in plein-air style.
The representation of the peasants and the folk costume was one of the concerns of Arthur Verona. This work brings to the fore a female character, wearing a national costume, laying on grass, with a tilted birch at the left.
