About this work

This painting shows two people talking outside. One is carrying a big bundle of firewood. The person is gesturing and the other is listening. The style is simple and funny. The artist made the people look a bit exaggerated. This makes the scene feel lighthearted. It's like a comic strip. The artist is good at making people laugh and think. Check out the technique of lithography.
