About this work

This painting shows a group of people in a dim, crowded space. Their clothes are rough and simple—dark fabrics with red and white stripes. Some wear hats or head coverings. The background looks like a rough wall, and there’s a barrel and a few other objects on the floor. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was scraped on. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and grays, but the red stripes stand out. Look up *impasto* next to see how thick paint like this is used.
