The painting titled 'The Israelites, which have gone from Egypt with Angel of death, are eating the Easter lamb (Exodus, XII, 11-14)' exemplifies a Religious painting with a raw, naïve quality reminiscent of Naïve art (primitivism). Its simple, expressive figures evoke a sense of immediacy, as if crafted directly onto paper. The scene, echoing biblical liberation, might be rendered as an etching—a technique emphasizing stark contrasts and bold lines. Overall, the work delivers a powerful narrative through straightforward, unpretentious art, blending religious significance with a primitive artistic approach.
