About this work

This painting shows a rough, brushy scene of a village street. Two small figures walk in the foreground, one in a light coat and one in darker clothes. Behind them, a cluster of buildings with simple windows and a church tower rise up, surrounded by leafy trees and a rocky hillside. The paint is thick and textured, almost like the artist slapped it on quickly. The colors are earthy—greens, browns, and muted yellows—with patches of white and dark shadows. Look up impasto next to see how this thick paint technique works.
