Ajurit lämmittelemässä is an unspecified by Ilya Repin, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a group of people standing close together in a dimly lit scene. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, blending dark blues and grays with splashes of red and yellow. A small fire glows in the foreground, and a flagpole with a flag stands in the background, though the details are fuzzy. The loose, textured style makes the scene feel quick and alive, like it was painted fast. The people’s faces are shadowy, almost hidden by the brushwork. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
