AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Genre scene with two girls at home work in the interior was executed in 1925 by renowned Czech genre, flower and portrait painter Josef Multrus ( 1898 - Praque - 1957). He studied with Prof. J. Benda at the Art Industrial School in Prague, then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, here he was a pupil of Prof. V. Nechleba. In his genres there is a perceptible admiration for the old Masters. Multrus is more complex in composition, recognizable by his original style and the preponderance of gray, white and brown colors.
