About this work

This painting shows a person in a blue jacket and light pants walking behind two brown horses pulling a wooden plow. The ground is rough and uneven, with patches of dirt and grass. Trees with red and orange leaves line the background, and the sky is pale and cloudy. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially in the dirt and leaves, giving the scene a textured look. The person appears to be working, guiding the horses as they move across the field. If you like this style, check out impasto.
