About this work

This painting shows four people wearing big hats and scarves. They look funny and bundled up for winter. The artist made their faces and bodies look silly on purpose. It's like a joke about how people dress in cold weather. The people in the painting have big noses and mouths, which adds to the humor. To learn more about how this image was made, look up the technique: lithography.
