This painting is mostly black and white. You see a big, blurry oval shape in the middle. Around it are thick, uneven black lines that look like they were drawn fast. The oval shape is dark but not solid—it has a soft, smudged look. The lines around it are jagged and uneven, like they were made with a brush or even a stick. This style is called *impasto*.
