About this work

This painting shows a dimly lit room with a bed in the foreground. The sheets are rumpled, and the blanket looks heavy. A window with dirty panes lets in a little light, revealing a chair and a small table pushed against the wall. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was scraped on. It gives the room a rough, lived-in feel. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
