This painting looks like two rough, dark shapes stacked on top of each other. The top one is a big, shadowy form with a hat or hood, and the bottom one looks like a person sitting or crouching. Behind them, a window shows a boat on water, but it’s all drawn in quick, messy strokes. The artist used thick, uneven lines and dark colors, almost like scribbles. The paint looks scratchy and uneven, not smooth. Next, check out tempera to see how this medium works.
