Original Jan-Balet painting 61 × 52 cm
This original, hand-painted work by Jan Balet (1913–2009) depicts one of his characteristic narrative scenes: a tranquil, almost theatrical composition with clear forms, a reduced color palette, and a subtle, slightly surreal atmosphere. Balet is among the most distinctive German-American artists of the 20th century and is known for his blend of naive modernism, graphic precision, and poetic restraint.

The painting measures 61 × 52 cm, making it one of the artist's larger and most sought-after works. The clear signature confirms its authenticity, while the labels on the reverse and auction house references document a solid provenance. The work is professionally framed and is in very good condition.
