23.25 × 27 in (59 × 68.5 cm)
Signed lower right
Presented in original gold-speckled wood frame
This painting is a dark interpretation of an untitled winter landscape painting by Josip Generalić. The composition features:
- A central figure being pulled by two oxen
- A woman gathering firewood at left
- A man harvesting branches with a ladder
- A snow-dusted village along the horizon
While clearly inspired by Generalić's winter scenes, it exhibits the individual hand of its maker through its particular brushwork and compositional choices.
Condition Report:
Painting:
- Stable paint layer with minor surface scratches
- Original signature intact
Frame:
- Gold-speckled finish with age-appropriate wear

Historical Context:
This work reflects the mid-century European folk art revival, when Generalić's Hlebine School gained international recognition. Comparable works are held in the Croatian Museum of Naïve Art (Zagreb) and Museum of Modern Art (Dubrovnik).
