About this work

This painting shows two people on a terrace. One holds a red umbrella, the other a light-colored one. Below them, trees and a stone railing line the edge of the scene. In the background, a city stretches out with buildings and a cloudy sky. The brushstrokes are loose and bright, almost like quick watercolor strokes. The colors pop against the light paper, making the scene feel lively. If you like this style, look up Maurice Prendergast for more work like this.
