About this work

This painting shows two women sitting close together. One wears a light blue dress with a white collar, while the other’s face is blurred and her dress is barely visible. Between them is a large vase with a single flower or branch sticking out. The background is soft and pale, almost like a foggy wall. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The artist didn’t smooth out the paint—it’s almost like you can feel the strokes if you reached in. If you like this style, look up impasto.
