About this work

This painting shows a narrow street with a few people walking away. The buildings on both sides are simple, with peeling walls and small windows. In the foreground, a person in a pink headscarf and blue coat sits on a bench, holding something in their lap. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The colors are mostly muted, but the pink scarf stands out against the gray and brown tones. If you like this style, look up impasto.
