Numerous small figures animate the scene—villagers converse, tend animals, travel by cart, and gather along paths and bridges—creating a continuous narrative across the composition. Decorative patterning, flattened perspective, and vibrant, carefully balanced colors give the work a strong ornamental rhythm. Associated with the Hlebine School and the Croatian Naïve Art tradition, Rasic is known for his densely populated compositions, folkloric storytelling, and jewel-like color palette. This print exemplifies his ability to merge everyday village activity with an almost tapestry-like visual structure, inviting close viewing and discovery. Signed in pencil and numbered from a limited edition of 90. The colors remain fresh and vivid. Overall in excellent condition. A highly decorative and engaging work by an important representative of 20th-century Naïve Art, appealing to collectors of modern prints, folk-inspired imagery, and Central European art.
