This painting shows a dim, shadowy room with rough stone walls and a dirt floor. A lone figure sits on a stool near a small fire, wrapped in a cloak, holding something in their hands. In the background, another person leans against a wall, and a tall, narrow window lets in a sliver of light. The fire’s glow is the only bright spot, lighting up the person’s face while the rest of the room stays dark. The brushstrokes look thick and textured, almost like you could feel the roughness of the walls. This painting uses impasto—thick paint that stands out in relief.
