About the piece

Created in 1837 by Henriette Odescalchi, this evocative watercolor captures 'Slovenská zábava' (Slovak Festivity). The scene portrays figures in detailed folk attire dancing and socialising around a decorated maypole near a simple thatched cottage, all set within a soft, atmospheric forest landscape.
