About this work

This painting shows a rough, blocky figure in bright colors. The person wears a red coat and a dark hat. The background is messy, with browns and blues. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven. The artist used a lot of paint—it’s almost like the colors are piled on. This makes the figure stand out against the blurry background. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
