About this work

This painting shows three people walking in a line, their backs to us. The person in the middle wears a dark coat and a flat cap, while the person in front has a lighter hat. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the scene look textured and uneven. The background is a plain, muted gray, which makes the figures stand out. Their clothes and hats are painted in simple shapes, with bold colors like white and dark brown. If you like this style, look up *impasto*.
