This painting shows a lone figure sitting on a rocky outcrop by a body of water. The person is dressed in dark, simple clothes, holding something small in their hands. Behind them, a dark forest rises up steeply, with a few trees clinging to the edge of the cliff. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, making the scene feel rough and uneven. The artist used dark shadows and bright patches of light to create depth. Look up impasto to see how thick paint was used here.
