Technique & Style

The painting is executed with thick, uneven brushstrokes that remain visible across the surface, creating a textured, almost tactile effect. The loose handling of paint and the muted tonal scheme align the work with late‑19th‑century approaches that emphasize immediacy of perception and the play of light over precise detail.
