The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's work, and it is held at the Museum of Ethnography. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's techniques, you might want to look up the use of chiaroscuro in his work.
