This painting shows a nighttime landscape with thick, bold brushstrokes. The sky is pale green and yellow, while the horizon glows orange. Below, a dark river cuts through the scene, with rough, uneven strokes suggesting water and land. The colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and blues—with some bright spots of red and blue near the water. The brushwork is loose and textured, almost like the artist worked quickly. The painting feels more like a mood than a detailed scene. This style reminds me of impasto.
