This painting shows four men playing music together. The background is a deep red with a glowing circle of light above them. The man on the left holds a large drum, the next plays a wooden flute, the third blows a reed pipe, and the last sings or hums. Their clothes are simple, with hats and belts, and the brushstrokes are thick and textured. The painting feels lively, even though the faces look a little rough. The bright colors and bold shapes make it stand out. The way the light shines behind them gives a warm, almost magical glow. If you like this style, look up impasto.
