Václav Špála's watercolour bears clear signs of his work, which are characteristic of the artist in terms of subject matter and colouring. It is executed with bravura and confidence. Václav Špála created it for Karel Novák, a winemaker who owned a wine bar near the Týn Cathedral, which was popular with painters and poets alike, who left a memento in the visitors' book as a souvenir.
