About this work

A woman in a dark dress walks along a narrow dirt path through a village. The path winds past rocky hills and small houses with thatched roofs. Trees line the path, and the sky above is partly cloudy, letting in soft light. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. This technique is called *impasto*—paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. Look up impasto to see how artists use it to add depth to their work.
