This painting shows a man standing outdoors in simple clothes. He wears a long brown coat over a white shirt, light pants, and a wide-brimmed hat. At his feet lies a round loaf of bread wrapped in leaves. The background is a rough brushstroke of green trees and a hazy sky. The artist used thick, visible paint strokes, especially on the man’s coat and the bread. This makes the textures pop—like the rough fabric or the bread’s crust. Check out *impasto* to see how artists use paint thickness for texture.
