Original Jan-Balet painting (23 × 23 cm) – Mid-Century painting This small, expressive painting is attributed to Jan Balet (1913–2009) and comes from a professional auction attribution (Dobiaschofsky Auctions AG, CH). The work is hand-painted, not printed, and depicts an architectural scene in relatively dark colors – typical of Balet's narrative, slightly surreal visual language.
Although the work is unsigned, its style clearly reflects Ballet's characteristic composition: flat color schemes, humorous details, clean lines, and a poetic, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. Auction labels on the reverse support the attribution.
A rare, decorative and collectible piece of mid-century art.
