This painting shows a crowd of people in bright, bold colors. One person in red stands out, holding something round above their head. The shapes are simple and flat, with lots of blue and green mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving it a rough, energetic feel. The faces are blurred, making the scene feel more about movement than details. The artist used thick paint to create texture, almost like you could feel the strokes. Next, look up impasto to see how this technique works in other paintings.
