About this work

This painting shows two women standing beside a wooden cart. They’re dressed in thick, warm clothes—white shawls, yellow headscarves, and long skirts with red and dark stripes. The cart has a big wooden wheel and a bundle wrapped in fabric tied on top. The background is a rough, textured wall with a dark, stormy sky behind it. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the clothes and cart a rough, almost handmade look. The faces are simple but full of character, with strong lines and muted colors. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
