This painting shows two figures sitting outside in a garden. The person on the left wears a long, flowing red-and-white robe and a white hat. The person on the right is bent forward, dressed in dark, heavy clothes, holding what looks like a small object. The background is filled with thick, brushy trees and plants in green, yellow, and brown. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a rough, textured look. It feels like the artist worked quickly, letting the paint show its layers. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
