Description
The paintings «Woman on the door» and «At the oven» (Catalog No. 82), are both fine examples of the artist's work as they fit at the topic that the artist is interested in, namely the scenes of everyday life and the houses' interiors.In this painting Geralis pictures an instantaneous event. A woman has bended in front of an oven and the fire that burns in it lights the part of the woman's face which is visible to the viewer. Second light source is the window to the left that lights up the bended back. The composition has academic character and exudes a feeling of serenity and calm. Finally, we should emphasize on the capture of the moment that creates the impression that Geralis faces the scene photografically.
