About this work

This painting shows a small wooden boat half-covered in snow, sitting on a frozen riverbank. The boat’s dark hull contrasts with the pale, patchy snow around it. In the background, bare trees stand against a dark sky, and two small figures crouch near a wooden cabin. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the scene a textured, almost tactile feel. It looks like the artist worked quickly, leaving visible strokes of paint. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
