About this work

This painting shows two figures lying close together on what looks like a rough, rocky surface. The person on top is lighter-skinned, with arms wrapped around the other. The person below is darker, with one arm resting under their head. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the skin and clothes a textured look. The painting feels raw and unfinished, almost like a quick sketch. The colors are mostly earthy browns and whites, with shadows blending into the background. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
