This painting shows a person standing under an umbrella, holding a small object in their hands. The figure is wrapped in a heavy coat with a hood pulled up, and the background is dark. The colors are mostly muted greens, grays, and browns, but there’s a bright red stripe on the coat’s sleeve. The umbrella’s shape is almost like a shield, and the person’s face is hidden in shadow. The paint looks thick and textured, almost like it was scraped on in some spots. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
