Jan Cybis was one of the leading figures of the Colorist movement in Polish painting. This later work presents a street scene with a succession of colourful buildings of different sizes beneath a cloudy sky and a church tower rising in the distance. The artist’s colour range of predominantly matte tones is on full display—blending green, blue, beige, purple and vermillion—with a cool gray repeated throughout the work, a shade Cybis favoured especially.
