About this work

This painting shows a person wrapped in a dark cloak with a hood pulled low over their head. The background is a snowy landscape with a few buildings far off, under a pale sky with streaky clouds. The face is pale, with dark eyes and a serious expression. The brushstrokes in the snow and sky are thick and textured, almost like they were painted quickly. The contrast between the dark cloak and the bright landscape makes the person stand out. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
