About this work

This painting shows two people dressed in heavy fur coats and boots. The taller figure wears a dark hooded coat with white trim, standing beside a smaller person in a similar but smaller outfit. Both have dark fur hats and brown boots, set against a plain gray background. The clothes look thick and warm, made for cold weather. The brushstrokes are simple but bold, with clear colors standing out. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
