This painting shows a crowded marketplace with people in old-fashioned clothes. Some wear headscarves, others hats, and many carry baskets or jars. The colors are earthy—reds, browns, and dull greens—with a rough, textured look. Pots, jars, and bundles of goods fill the scene, and the faces are simple but full of life. Notice how the artist used thick, visible brushstrokes to create depth. The crowd feels busy and alive, even though the faces are basic. Look up *impasto* next to see how this thick paint technique works.
