About this work

This painting shows a row of tall, skinny trees with bright green leaves standing in front of a cluster of small houses. The trees are painted in loose, uneven brushstrokes, some with yellowish-brown trunks. Behind them, the houses have red roofs and simple walls, blending into a soft, pale sky. The grassy ground is patchy, with some areas darker than others. The artist focused on how light hits the leaves and buildings, making some spots brighter than others. The brushwork feels quick, like the scene was painted outdoors. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
