This painting shows two women sitting close together. The woman behind wears a dark jacket and a headscarf, her face calm but serious. The woman in front has lighter skin, a striped shirt, and holds a yellow object—maybe a book or fan—while resting her head on the other woman’s shoulder. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the paint was scraped on. The colors feel warm and muddy, with no smooth blends. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
