"Chudá žena" (Poor Woman) is a 1917 painting by Czech artist Josef Čapek (1887-1945), known for his expressionist style and social commentary. This painting features a somber figure draped in black, with the iconic crescent moon symbols featured prominently on the chest. The stark contrasts of light and dark, and the simple yet expressive form create a powerful and contemplative atmosphere. This work exemplifies Čapek's distinctive artistic approach, blending symbolic elements with emotional depth.
