About this work

A woman in a light yellow dress with dark stripes is bent over, picking something off the ground. Her dark skirt and the rough texture of her dress show up against the rocky, grassy path. Behind her, a forest of dark trees and a small signpost stand out. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her dress, making it look almost textured. The light hits her face and hands, while the background stays dark. This painting uses the technique: impasto.
