About this work

This painting shows a simple room with a bed, a window, and a chair. The bed takes up most of the space, with a dark hat resting on the pillow. Outside the window, you can see a building and a railing, along with a tree painted in thick, bright strokes of yellow and green. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, giving the painting a rough, textured feel. Light spills in through the window, but the artist didn’t smooth out the colors—some areas look almost unfinished. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
