This fragment of Niko Pirosmani’s *Saint George’s Day in Bolnisi* (1915) depicts a lively Georgian celebration with figures in traditional garb, enjoying wine and music. The scene is rendered in Pirosmani's signature naive style, characterized by bold colors, flat planes, and simplified forms. Despite his limited formal art training, Pirosmani captured the essence of Georgian life, creating iconic works that celebrate the simple joys of everyday life.
