This painting shows a village nestled on a hillside. Buildings with flat roofs and earthy colors climb up the slope, surrounded by patches of green trees. The sky is dark and cloudy, while the ground looks rough and uneven. A few people and animals are scattered near the houses, but they’re small and hard to make out. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured, almost rough look. It feels like the artist worked quickly, letting the paint sit in bold strokes rather than blending it smoothly. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works in other paintings.
