About this work

This painting shows a small coastal village with simple, low buildings and red-tiled roofs. The houses sit on a grassy slope near the water, and the sea stretches out in the background. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, with soft colors like pale blues, greens, and earthy tones. The artist used thick, textured strokes to suggest light and shadow, especially on the hillside. This gives the scene a warm, uneven look. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works in other paintings.
