About the piece

Painted in 1912 by Lajos Csordák, this oil on cardboard work captures a quiet rural moment 'Pred domom' (In front of the house). The artist employs a confident, impasto technique where thick strokes of blue, cream, and ochre build the form of the dwelling and surrounding garden, creating a vibrant sense of atmosphere and light characteristic of late European impressionism.
