A man in a white shirt and vest stands scratching his head under a bright sky. Two horses, one white and one brown, are harnessed to a plow in a field. Sheep graze in the distance, and trees line the horizon. Notice how the paint is thick in spots, especially on the horses and the man’s clothes. This makes the textures pop—like you could almost feel the roughness of the fabric or the fur. This painting uses a technique called impasto.
