About this work

This painting shows a small wooden bridge over a calm river. On the bridge, three people sit on a cart pulled by two cows. The riverbank is lined with tall trees in bright yellow and green leaves. A dark wall runs along the edge, and a covered area with benches sits behind it. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show the texture of the trees and water. The light hits the leaves, making some parts look almost glowing. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use paint thickness to create texture.
