About this work

This painting shows two people sitting close together. The person on the left wears a wide-brimmed hat, a checkered jacket, and blue pants, holding something small in their hand. The person on the right has a headscarf, a loose green-and-yellow dress, and a baby on their lap. The background is blurry, with a hint of a window or doorway. The bright colors and rough brushstrokes make the scene feel lively but unfinished. The faces are exaggerated, almost like masks. If you like this style, look up impasto.
