František Tichý liked the environment where people meet and earned extra money by singing and reciting in cabarets. It is not surprising that he also visited the literary club, which he sketched with a quick and brilliant sketch. His drawing style was close to caricature. His relation to commedia dell'arte is manifested in his artistic work from the point of view of literature, and Don Quixote became an important supporting theme for his work.
