This painting shows two women lying down on a couch, wrapped in red and green fabric. One woman is resting her head on her hand, looking relaxed, while the other leans back with her arm behind her head. The background looks like a dimly lit room with a dark, textured wall and a partial view of a window or door frame. The way the light hits their faces and bodies makes them look soft and three-dimensional. The artist used thick brushstrokes to create shadows and highlights, especially on the red fabric. Look up impasto to see how artists use paint thickness to add texture.
