The colour linocut depicting the head of a woman kissing a bird in the palm of her hand was made by Ota Janeček, an important and multi-talented painter whose work was based on domestic tradition and the legacy of European modernism. From the initial impulses of cubism, lyrical figuralism or French colourism, he turned his attention to his own unmistakable expression. His drawings and prints of female nudes are famous. The dimension given is that of a sheet.
