About this work

This painting shows a narrow, rainy street lined with old buildings. A man in a dark coat walks ahead of a flock of ducks, while another person with an umbrella hurries farther down the alley. The houses have slanted roofs, some with green shutters, and clotheslines hang between them. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show the wet pavement and gray sky. The ducks add a splash of movement in an otherwise quiet scene. Look up *impasto* next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
