Unfortunately not on display at the moment
Josef Dobrowsky (1889–1964) did quote a lot of plein-air painting, as is evidenced by the lyrical painting of the Painter at the Easel of 1925/26. The warm, earthy, and dark colors of the artist in the picture and the nature around him meet the cool blue of the sky. Like in Painter and Model, the figure of the man is modeled from shaded color areas with thick outlines, which makes it resemble a stuffed-out rag doll. In the 1920s, Dobrowsky especially devoted himself to rural and village scenes, the relationship of humans and nature, and the work of Pieter Bruegel (1925/30–1569).
