This painting shows two older people sitting close together. Their faces are blurry, but you can see their hands resting between them. The colors are mostly dark—deep blues and browns—with some lighter patches on their clothes. The brushstrokes look thick and uneven, almost like the paint was scraped on. The two figures seem quiet and still, with no clear background. The way the paint is applied gives it a rough, textured look, almost like you could feel the strokes if you touched it. If you like this style, look up *impasto*.
