About the piece

This 1901 oil sketch by Joža Úprka demonstrates a masterful use of impasto to convey energy and light. The artist utilizes thick, confident strokes of white and vibrant red against a warm wooden support to capture a fleeting moment of a folk celebration, prioritizing atmosphere and rhythmic movement over precise detail.
