About this work

This painting shows three women working outdoors in bright, bold colors. One woman bends over, another carries a large basket on her head, and the third stands with her hands on her hips. The background has a hill, trees, and a house with a red roof. The women’s clothes are simple—long skirts and headscarves—and the scene feels warm and busy. The paint looks thick in spots, almost like it was slapped on the canvas. If you like this style, look up impasto.
