This painting shows two blobby figures standing near a red wall. One figure is pink with a black dress and a tall, pointy hat. The other figure is gray, standing on a dark block. The background is mostly white with light brushstrokes, and the colors are flat and simple. The figures look more like cartoons than real people, with thick black outlines. The artist used bold, uneven brushstrokes to make everything feel rough and unfinished. Check out impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s look.
