In spite of starting his career under miserable conditions, Koszta, the young artist managed to attend major schools and visit places of significance. It is, however, hardly visible in his art as he is one of the most individual artists full of character. Almost all of his pictures show a clash of dark and light patches.
The exceptional strength of colours lies in an amazing contrast of purples, yellows and greens full of reflexes. The glowing contrast almost explodes as a result of sketchy forms and passionate brushwork. Koszta often used the effect of silhouettes like other artists in the late 19th century which Millet made popular. Back-light makes the unity of nature and man living in it stronger: figures are projected to the background without details. Storm clouds in the sky and the clumsy brushwork recall Munkácsy's parade of colours at sunset where transcendental powers are always referred to, as is the case in this picture.
