About this work

Three women sit side by side in a field of bright flowers. They wear headscarves and long aprons with red and black embroidery. Their clothes are mostly white, and they hold baskets on their laps. The background shows a hillside dotted with yellow and orange wildflowers, and the sky is soft and pale. The women’s faces are serious but calm, with simple, direct expressions. Their embroidered aprons look handmade, full of small floral patterns. The artist used thick brushstrokes to make the colors pop, especially in the flowers and their clothing. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
