About this work

This painting shows a town by a river, with a bridge connecting two sides. The buildings look old, with towers and rooftops in muted colors. Brushstrokes are loose, and the sky is soft and faded. In the foreground, a person walks along the riverbank with a pole. The artist used quick, visible strokes—thick paint in some spots, thinner in others. This gives the scene a rough, sketchy feel, like it was painted fast. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
