This painting shows a blurry bakery scene with bold colors. A red sign with the word "PATISSERIE" stands out against a pink wall. Inside, a person in a green apron and red hat works near a counter covered in trays. The artist used thick, uneven brushstrokes to create a rough, textured look. This style makes the scene feel busy and alive, almost like a quick snapshot. Next, look up lithography to see how this printing method works.
