Subject & Meaning
The scene shows people seated on the ground, wrapped in blankets, amidst rows of tents stretching into the distance. Earthy tones dominate the palette, punctuated by occasional bright accents.

Thick, visible brushstrokes create a textured, almost sketchy effect, characteristic of the impasto technique, where paint is applied heavily to the canvas.
