About this work

This painting shows a tall, white tower with a small window near the top, standing on a rocky shore. Behind it is a worn building with a green door and a round window. The sky is a flat blue, and the ground looks uneven with scattered rocks and pebbles. The tower’s bright white color stands out against the muted tones of the rest of the scene. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show texture, especially on the rocks and building walls. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
