Două odalisce (Două femei șezând)

About this work

This painting shows two women sitting side by side. One wears a red headscarf and a long dress, holding a small object in her lap. The other has a yellow head covering, a dark top, and green pants, with a staff leaning against her. The background is dark and blurry, with only their faces and hands clearly visible. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the image a textured look. The lighting focuses on their faces, making them stand out against the shadowy background. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint is used in other artworks.
