This painting shows an older person wearing a white headscarf with a feather tucked in. Their face is wrinkled, with a serious expression and a white beard. The colors are mostly muted—earthy browns and grays—except for a touch of green on the collar. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting texture. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Check out impasto to see how artists use paint like this.
