About the piece

Created around 1890 by Slovak artist Ľudovít Pitthordt, this oil study on cardboard exemplifies the immediate, atmospheric quality of late 19th-century landscape painting. The work features a rich impasto technique, where thick layers of paint define the dense foliage and the dusty, sun-dappled road, creating a scene that feels both grounded and fleeting.
