About this work

This painting shows two women standing close together. The woman on the left wears a long dark skirt, a white apron, and a headscarf with red dots. She holds a cloth in her hands. The woman on the right has a bright red skirt with dark dots and a white blouse with colorful embroidery. Both look forward with serious expressions. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like patches of color. The background is plain but the clothes have lots of texture, making them pop. Look up impasto to see how this technique works.
