There are some details of the city and the surroundings of Nagybánya that inspired almost every artist, who worked here. This is true in the case of the Zazar, the old mill, the Morgó Mountain, the Kereszthegy (Cross Mountain), the Virághegy (the Mountain of Flowers), the Klastromrét (the Plain of the Cloister) and the reformed church with the red tinned roof on its tower.
These often-painted details of Nagybánya appear on the canvases of Jenő Maticska as well. The composition of is simple and concise. The colours of the foreground are unusually dark and sombre. The few white houses and the white-yellow church make the picture a bit lighter. The tinned red roof of the tower immediately draws ones attention of course.
The road in the foreground is made up of spots of colour that are almost independent of concrete forms. The painting seems a little bit superficially done because of the determined and dynamic brushstrokes of the artist. The almost homogeneous blue of the sky dominates the composition.
