About this work

This painting shows a few everyday objects on a rough table. There’s a greenish metal pot with a handle, a dark bottle with a red label, and a small open box. Behind them, a sailboat is painted on the wall, looking like it’s floating in the corner. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors look uneven and textured. It feels like the artist didn’t smooth things out—just painted quickly. Try looking up impasto to see how this thick paint style works.
