This painting shows a simple scene: a flowerpot with wilting geraniums on a windowsill. The petals are faded, some leaves droop, and the pot sits against a rough stone wall. Outside the window, a snowy mountain range stretches under a pale sky, with a red pole cutting across the left side. The flowers look almost dead, but the artist still painted their colors—pinks, yellows, and greens—with care. The brushstrokes are loose, like the scene was painted quickly or from memory. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
