This painting shows a dim room with two people. One stands near a brick wall holding a helmet, dressed in dark, rough clothes. The other sits by a window, wrapped in a light cloth, looking down. Outside, you can see a town with rooftops and trees through the open window. Notice how the light hits the person standing, making their face stand out against the dark clothes. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the scene a textured feel. Check out how this uses impasto to create depth.
