About this work

This painting shows a narrow path lined with simple buildings on both sides. The walls are rough and uneven, with some windows and doorways. The path is covered in what looks like straw or dry grass, leading toward a bright, open area in the distance. Tall trees frame the scene, their branches reaching into a sky full of swirling, patchy clouds. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the paint was scraped on in places. It gives the whole scene a lively, uneven look, as if the artist wanted to show movement and light in a rough way. If you like this style, look up impasto.
