This painting shows two women with rough, brushy strokes. The one on the right is a nude with a yellowish-brown skin tone, wearing a teal sash over her shoulder. The other woman, behind her, has a dark cloak draped over her head. The background is a mix of red and brown, making the figures stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was slapped on. This technique makes the colors feel raw and alive. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
