About this work

This painting shows three women in a dimly lit room, their faces turned toward each other. The woman in the center wears a light gray dress with puffy sleeves, holding a small fan. To her left, a woman in dark clothes looks away, while the woman on the right, in a green dress and a big hat, gazes directly at the viewer. The background is blurry, with indistinct figures and a faint outdoor scene. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a rough, textured look. This style was often used to capture quick, lively moments. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
