Vajda Lajos Girl with Candles, 1936, Oil on Paper, 568x55cm 1936

"Girl with Candles" is an oil on paper painting by Hungarian artist Lajos Vajda, created in 1936. The painting features a simplified, almost geometric figure of a girl, with a large, circular head against a warm orange background. Two candles flank the girl, represented by elongated, brown cylinders topped with green circular flames. The bold lines, simplified forms, and vibrant colors are characteristic of Vajda's artistic style, which was influenced by both modernism and traditional folk art. The painting is a striking example of Vajda's unique blend of geometric abstraction and figurative imagery.
