To accurately determine the artistic style of a painting, one would need visual access to the work in question, as style is identified through elements such as brushwork, color, form, and subject matter that are visually distinguishable. Since I cannot view images or receive visual information, I'm unable to determine the style of the painting you're referring to. If you can provide a description or any distinctive characteristics of the painting, I could attempt to help identify the artistic style based on that information.

Artistic styles in painting refer to the distinct methods and aesthetics that characterize the work of individual artists, artistic movements, or historical periods. Some well-known styles include:

1. Realism: Depicting subjects as they appear in everyday life without embellishment or interpretation. 2. Impressionism: Characterized by small, thin brush strokes and open composition, with an emphasis on accurate depiction of light and its changing qualities. 3. Expressionism: Aiming to express the artist's subjective emotions and responses rather than to depict reality objectively. 4. Cubism: An early 20th-century style created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, involving the fragmentation and geometric reconfiguration of subjects. 5. Surrealism: Featuring the element of surprise with unexpected juxtapositions; heavily influenced by psychoanalytic theories of unconscious and dream states. 6. Abstract: Art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of visual reality but instead uses shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

Each style has its own characteristics and philosophies, and recognizing these can help in identifying the style of a given artwork. Art history education involves learning to distinguish between these styles both visually and contextually.
