Street of Berzova

This work was painted relatively early on in Pa�l’s career. Interrupting his studies abroad, he returned home to Transylvania, where he painted this picture. A girl is walking towards a well on a street running between the whitewashed houses of the small village. There are a few ducks around the well. The composition is built on the contrast between black and white - dark and light colours. The picture radiates a quiet, melancholic mood; looking at the streets and the figure one has a feeling that time stopped in this sleepy, dusty Transylvanian village at the end of the century.
