The painting titled Sorcerers masterfully blends elements of genre painting with an Art nouveau (modern) aesthetic, capturing a mystical scene inspired by Slavic mythology. It depicts werewolves—humans with the ability to shapeshift into wolves, retaining their intelligence yet unable to speak. The artwork appears to be created with Gouache on cardboard, employing soft pastel hues to evoke an otherworldly atmosphere. The composition’s dreamlike quality hints at surreal influences, inviting viewers into a world where magic and myth intertwine.
