About this work

This painting shows two women in a dimly lit room. On the left, a woman in a dark dress with a red shawl sits on a chair, resting her chin on her hand. Behind her is a shelf with framed pictures. On the right, another woman wears a bright, patterned dress and a black mask, holding something to her face. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the paintings a textured look. The lighting is soft, focusing on the women’s faces while the background stays dark. Try looking up *impasto* to see how this technique works.
