The colors used are muted, with shades of brown, blue, and yellow dominating the palette. A notable detail in the painting is the use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to convey a sense of energy and movement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
