About this work

This painting shows a city street with a sloped hill in the middle. Buildings line both sides, some with bright red roofs, while others are darker. A few people and horses are scattered around, and a tree with bare branches stands near the right edge. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a quick, rough feel. The colors are muted except for the red roofs, which pop against the rest. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
