This painting shows a man standing outside in a bright, greenish-yellow field. He’s wearing a green coat, brown pants, and a cap, holding a red box in one hand. Behind him, two tall birch trees stand with white bark, and the sky is dark and cloudy. The brushstrokes are thick and loose, making the colors pop. The red box he’s holding is the only bright spot in the scene, drawing your eye. The painting feels a little rough around the edges, like it was done quickly. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
