About this work

This print shows two tall, colorful figures standing on either side of a tree. The tree is packed with bowls, fruits, and what look like small animals hanging from its branches. The background has a greenish-brown base, and the figures wear loose, patterned robes in blues and oranges. Notice how the figures’ faces are simple but expressive, with big eyes and strong lines. The tree’s branches twist around the bowls and fruits in a busy, almost crowded way. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
