About this work

This painting shows two women sitting at a small table, playing cards. One wears a dark dress with a high collar, the other a blue patterned outfit with white trim. The room looks simple—peeling walls, a wooden cabinet, and a chair in the background. A small dog sits near the woman in blue. The brushstrokes are thick and loose, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The colors are muted, except for the blue dress which stands out. If you like this style, look up impasto.
