This painting shows an old stone building with arched doorways and worn steps. A few people sit on the ground near the entrance, while others stand or walk around. The walls are rough, and the colors are mostly earthy browns and greens, with a tree on the right side. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. This style highlights light and shadow to make the buildings feel solid. Next, look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
