About this work

This painting shows two women outdoors. One stands tall, balancing a basket of fruit on her head while wearing a long skirt and a headscarf. The other woman sits nearby, also in a headscarf, resting her chin on her hand. The background looks like a rocky hillside with some greenery. The standing woman’s pose is steady, almost like she’s used to carrying heavy loads. The brushstrokes are thick, making the colors pop in a rough, textured way. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
