This painting shows a group of people standing close together outdoors. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, with bright colors like reds, blues, and greens. The background has trees and a pale sky, but the focus is on the figures in front. The way the paint is applied looks rough, almost like it was done quickly. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thick so you can see the texture. Try looking up *impasto* to see how other artists used this same bold style.
