About this work

This painting shows a snowy farm scene with a group of sheep in the foreground. A man stands near the sheep, holding something in his hands, while a woman and child ride in a wooden cart behind them. Tall trees line the background, and a village with houses sits beyond a fence. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the sheep and cart, giving the painting a rough, almost sculpted look. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. If you like this style, look up *impasto* to see more paintings with bold, tactile brushwork.
