Artist, Czech, 1873 - 1944

This is a painting of a figure seated on a horse, holding a brass musical instrument, in a stylized landscape with trees. The composition displays vibrant and contrasting colors, primarily yellows, blues, and greens. Stylized tree shapes with bold outlines frame the central figure, casting shadows. The horse and rider are depicted in a fluid, graphic style, emphasizing contours and textures. A house with a triangular roof and a chimney appears on the left side of the painting. The overall design gives it a folkloric, decorative appearance in the style of Émile Bernard.
