About this work

This painting shows a close-up face with bold, dark eyes and a mustache, surrounded by a rough, textured frame. Behind the face, two arms hold a bundle of flowers and a curved musical instrument. The background is a mix of green leaves and white blossoms, giving a wild, tangled look. The face looks almost like a mask, with sharp lines and stark contrasts. The artist used thick paint to create a rough, almost carved texture. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
