About this work

This painting shows a simple house sitting on a hillside. The building has a sloped roof, small windows, and a mix of white and gray walls with a few orange and green accents. The background is a soft wash of colors—greens, yellows, and browns—with a fence running along the edge. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to suggest light and shadow, giving the scene a sketchy, hand-drawn feel. The title means "Old House from Plumbuita," hinting at a rural setting. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth.
