About this work

This painting shows three men in dark green uniforms with matching caps. One holds a rifle, and all three have serious expressions. Behind them, a white building and a flagpole with a red flag stand out against a pale blue sky. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The lighting is simple but highlights their faces and uniforms clearly. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
