This photo shows a crumbling stone building with worn steps leading up to a small arched doorway. Two women stand on the stairs, dressed in long skirts and bonnets, one in purple and one in blue. The walls are faded and cracked, with a balcony above the door and a few small windows. The brushwork looks soft and blended, almost like it was painted outside in sunlight. The colors are muted, with the women’s dresses standing out against the dull stone. Check out Impressionism to see how artists used light and color this way.
