About this work

This print shows a group of people gathered outside, carrying a wooden coffin with a cross on top. The men wear dark coats and hats, while the women are wrapped in light-colored shawls. The colors are mostly earthy browns, yellows, and muted blues, with a bright yellow wall in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, textured look. This style makes the faces and clothing stand out against the softer background. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
