Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck - Vila de la Balcic (oil painting)Vila de la Balcic ("The Villa in Balchick"), from the collection of the Frederic Storck and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck Museum, Bucharest, Romania, photographed at Art Safari 2024 in the Dacia Building, Bucharest. Oil on cardboard. Height: 48 cm (18.8 in); width: 68 cm (26.7 in).
Balchik (known in Romanian as Balcic ) is the southernmost significant port in Dobruja (known in Romanian as Dobrogea ), on the west coast of the Black Sea. Balchik is now well within Bulgaria, but (like all of Dobruja) was part of Romania between the two World Wars. The region is now divided roughly equally between the two countries, with Bulgaria owning the southern half. During the period of Romanian rule over the entire region, Balcic, with its nearly Mediterranean climate and appearance, was a very popular destination and subject for Romanian artists, including Cuțescu-Storck.
This particular picture almost certainly dates between 1924 (when the Storck Villa was initially built) and 1929 (when it was significantly expanded, adding an 8-arch loggia proportionately larger than the 3-arch loggia seen here). Probably based on this drawing .
THE COPYRIGHT STATUS OF THIS IMAGE IS A BIT COMPLICATED. Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck died in 1969, so in Romania her works will be copyrighted through 2039. In the U.S., copyright for works of this era is typically based on publication date. As noted, this piece almost certainly dates no later than 1929. If it is deemed to have been published at the time of its creation, then it is out of copyright in the U.S., but "publication" of a drawing is a rather fraught matter in copyright law, so the U.S. copyright status of this piece is unclear. If a representative of the estate of Cuțescu-Storck believes this is still in copyright in the U.S. and would like me to take this down, I will certainly comply. Anyone reusing this image under the free license I grant for my photography should consider all of that a warning that I do not control the rights to the underlying drawing, and therefore cannot license them.

Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck - Vedere generală spre mareVedere generală spre mare ("Wide View to the Sea"), height: 75 cm (29.5 in); width: 108.5 cm (42.7 in), Photographed at Art Safari 2024 in the Dacia Building, Bucharest, here it was on loan from the National Museum of Art of Romania. Oil on cardboard.
This appears to show a town in southern Dobruja (known in Romanian as Dobrogea , on the west coast of the Black Sea, somewhere near Balchik (known in Romanian as Balcic' ). Balchik is now well within Bulgaria, but (like all of Dobruja) was part of Romania between the two World Wars. The region is now divided roughly equally between the two countries, with Bulgaria owning the southern half. During the period of Romanian rule over the entire region, Balcic, with its nearly Mediterranean climate and appearance, was a very popular destination and subject for Romanian artists, including Cuțescu-Storck.
THE COPYRIGHT STATUS OF THIS IMAGE IS A BIT COMPLICATED. Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck died in 1969, so in Romania her works will be copyrighted through 2039. In the U.S., copyright for works of this era is typically based on publication date, not creation date, though for a painting either reproduction or public exhibition in a place where photography was allowed are generally considered publication. If the painting is more than 95 years old, and is deemed to have been published at the time of its creation, then it is out of copyright in the U.S. As noted above, it was almost certainly created before 1939 and possibly as much as two decades earlier. If a representative of the estate of Cuțescu-Storck would like me to take this down, I will certainly comply. Consider all of that a warning to anyone considering reusing this.

clasate.cimec.ro dates this as "1/2 sec. XX" ("first half of 20th Century). We can more definitively say no later than September 1943, when the Western Allies invaded Corsica in World War II, and much more likely in the pre-War years, quite possibly considerably earlier.

I'd be very interested if anyone knows anything about the identities of the two women in the drawing. It looks to me like a deliberate portrait, much more about particular individuals that is typical of the bulk of her work.

That is made even more likely by the fact that she lived much of her young adulthood in Paris.
