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.
