Mikuláš Galanda’s 1930 ink drawing titled “Ball” features two simplified female figures drawn in a stylized, almost geometric, manner. The figures are embraced by a circular shape which could be interpreted as a ball. The drawing is reminiscent of Art Deco in its clean lines and decorative elements. The minimalist composition and symbolic representation of the human form are characteristic of Galanda’s artistic style, which is often associated with Czech modernism.
