Photo reproduction of a painting probably depicting a party with a devil playing the violin and a personification of death with a scythe, photograph, reproduction, page, inscription: '(so stra. 33). Tak mu w szumiacéj glowie mysl wziela tancowac, ze patrzal, a nie wiedzial jak sie pomiarkowac. Smial sie z Zydow, Cyganek, bal Wrozek z Djablami, I chciwie lapal ruchy - i mruzyl oczami.', photographer: Konrad Brandel, after painting by Michal Elwiro Andriolli, c. 1875 - in or before 1876, paper, albumen print, albumendruk, height 187 mm x width 146 mm, festivities, A densely detailed black and white illustration fills a rectangular central area surrounded by a wide pale margin, showing a chaotic scene of many figures in dynamic poses. In the foreground a crowd of people and fantastical figures jostle and stagger, wearing a variety of hats, ruffled clothing, and armor, with some faces contorted and others masked or skeletal; one tall thin figure holds a long scythe upward while another nearby brandishes a baton. Toward the middle a person in ornate costume with ruffles and a wide brimmed hat leans back as others reach toward them, and children and smaller figures are tangled at their feet. To the left a mounted rider on a rearing horse looms above the crowd, the horse and rider rendered with vigorous lines. The background shows a rough stone wall with an archway and a small recessed window, while shadows and textured washes create a smoky, atmospheric backdrop. The overall image is highly detailed with intricate linework and strong contrasts between dark figures and lighter architectural surfaces.
