This painting shows a small, dimly lit village scene. The buildings have slanted roofs covered in red-brown tiles, and one has a bright orange glow from inside. A few bare trees and chimneys stick out against a pale, cloudy sky. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving it a textured, unfinished look. The warm light inside one building stands out against the cool, muted colors outside. The painting feels quick and sketchy, like it was done in one sitting. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this is used.
