About this work

This painting shows a crowded, fancy party in a richly decorated room. The walls are covered in gold frames holding smaller paintings, and the floor is polished wood. Men in suits and women in long, colorful dresses with flowers and feathers mix and chat, while a few sit at tables. Candles in tall stands light up the space, and a big painting hangs above the crowd. The brushstrokes are loose and thick, giving the scene a lively, almost sketchy feel. The lighting plays up the warm tones of the room, making everything glow. If you like this style, look up impasto.
