Ballad of Epona 1900

"Ballad of Epona" (1900) by Frantisek Kupka is an oil painting on canvas depicting two women, one riding a large horse, the other a smaller horse. Both are nude, on a beach, with a sea in the background. The women are both shown in motion, with the one on the larger horse looking down, and the other looking up, as if they are in a conversation. The warm tones of the painting, along with the implied narrative of the scene, suggest a connection to the theme of the French "Belle Epoque" era.
