About this work

This painting shows a busy, colorful scene with a crowd of people. In the foreground, a boy blows a whistle while others gather around a table covered with food and flowers. Hot-air balloons float in the sky, and a building with columns stands in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a lively, textured look. This style is called *impasto*. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
