About this work

This painting shows a row of tall, narrow buildings along a canal. The buildings have arched windows and balconies, painted in earthy tones like yellow and brown. A small boat floats in the water below, with ripples around it. The sky is light, with soft brushstrokes that blur the edges. The artist used thick, visible strokes of paint, especially on the water and buildings. This gives the scene a textured, almost sketchy feel. It’s not polished—just quick and lively. Look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works in other art.
