About this work

This painting shows four men in bright, flat colors on a plain background. Two kneel in red robes, hands bound behind them. One man in blue stands over them, holding a stick. Another man in purple watches, holding a long staff. The edges of the paper are worn and frayed. The two kneeling men look scared, their faces turned down. The man in blue seems to be in charge, while the man in purple stands back, observing. Their clothes and poses suggest a scene of punishment or control. Next, look up gouache to see how this matte, opaque paint differs from oils or watercolors.
