This painting shows a worn, two-story house with peeling walls and a red-tiled roof. A horse is hitched to a simple wooden cart in front, and a woman in a light dress stands nearby. The sky is dark blue, while the buildings glow with warm yellow and pink lights from inside. The house looks old, with uneven walls and a balcony that’s missing parts. The brushstrokes are thick, making the colors pop in some spots while blending softly in others. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this creates texture.
