About this work

This painting shows a stage-like scene with a small group of people inside a wooden frame. The background looks like a garden with lots of plants and flowers, but the colors are faded. On the right, someone is holding a red cloth, and there’s a curtain hanging nearby. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a rough, textured look. This might be because the artist used a technique called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly. Look up technique: impasto next to see how it works.
