A lively depiction of a post-banya ritual, showing figures plunging into the snow after bathing. Painted in a loose, impressionistic style, the work captures both the physical shock of cold and the communal spirit of everyday life in Eastern Europe during the late 1920s. Original wooden frame. Signed.
