About this work

This painting shows a tall, round stone tower with a dark, pointed roof. The tower has small windows near the top and a big arched doorway at the bottom. Behind it, a grassy hill slopes down, and a tree stands to the right. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the stone a textured look. This style makes the tower feel solid and old. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
