About this work

This painting shows a group of people standing in a line. They look simple and rough, with flat colors and thick brushstrokes. The background is dark blue with a hill and small houses, but it’s blurry. The people wear long, loose clothes in muted colors like brown, blue, and gray. The faces are almost blank, like masks. The artist used heavy paint in some spots, making it look textured. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thick so you can almost feel it. Next, check out impasto to see how other artists used this same thick-paint trick.
