The painting has a lot of texture, with thick brushstrokes visible on the canvas. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and grey dominating the palette. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. If you want to learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
