A woman in a blue dress and green skirt sits on a wooden stool, holding a small child who leans against her. Behind them, a dark wooden cabinet is packed with plates and bowls. The walls are rough, and a red cloth hangs in the corner. The light comes from the left, casting shadows on the woman’s face and the child’s back. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, lived-in feel. The colors are muted, except for the bright red cloth, which stands out. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
