About this work

This painting shows a quiet riverside scene. A person in a long coat and hat stands on a small wooden boat, holding a long pole. The boat is near a rocky shore, and a simple wooden cabin sits on the grassy bank. The sky is bright with fluffy clouds, and tall trees line the background. The person seems to be checking or fixing something on the boat, maybe a net or rope. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on the water and sky. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
