About this work

This painting shows a narrow street with uneven buildings leaning close together. A person walks down the middle, dressed in a dark coat and light pants. The ground is rough and wet-looking, with puddles reflecting the buildings. Wooden doors and windows stick out at odd angles, and a wooden cart sits on the right side. The buildings are painted in flat colors with sharp edges, almost like blocks stacked together. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show texture, especially on the walls and ground. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
