About this work

This painting shows a person sitting at a table, sorting through a pile of fish and a red leaf. Behind them is a blue tent with a wooden pole, and a few objects like a jar and a bowl sit on a shelf. The colors are bright but loose, with quick brushstrokes that make everything feel a little sketchy. The fish look fresh, but the way they’re painted—thick and textured—stands out. It’s like the artist didn’t smooth everything out, leaving some strokes visible. If you like this style, look up impasto.
