Jaroslav Šetelík painted mostly Prague motifs, which appeared on very popular postcards. He was subsequently invited to Holland, where he captured 40 Dutch cities in watercolours. The work Before the Opera departs from the more common conservative "postcard subjects" with almost no stagecraft and instead allows the unique lively atmosphere of the crowd to emerge in the play of twilight and night lights. It feels more like a brilliant snapshot. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
