About this work

This painting shows a woman in a dark blue dress and white cap stirring something in a bright blue bucket. Behind her, a wooden table holds a pitcher, a plate, and a vase with red flowers. The walls are warm orange, and a shiny metal bucket sits on the floor. The brushstrokes are thick and bold, making the colors pop. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. Look up *impasto* to see more paintings with this bold, textured look.
