An original drypoint etching titled "The cole shop" by the renowned Czech artist Vladimír Silovský (1891–1974).

 Silovský was a leading figure in Czech 20th-century social realism and a founding member of the prestigious Hollar Association of Czech Graphic Artists.

  • Artist: Vladimír Silovský (1891–1974)
  • Title: Uhlířský krámek (The Charcoal Shop)
  • Medium: Original Drypoint on Paper
  • Style: Social Realism / Czech Modernism
  • Dimensions: 17 x 13.5 cm (plate size); paper size approx. 64 x 34 cm
  • Signature: Hand-signed "V. Silovský" in pencil (lower right)
This evocative drypoint captures a quiet, atmospheric interior typical of Silovský’s focus on the lives of everyday working people. The composition utilizes a strong chiaroscuro effect, where the central female figure is bathed in a soft light that spills through the high-placed window, contrasting sharply with the deep, velvety shadows of the workshop.
Silovský’s mastery of the drypoint technique is evident in the rich, textured lines and dense cross-hatching, which create a sense of tactile depth and intimacy.
As a student of Max Švabinský and later a professor at the Prague Academy, Silovský’s work is highly regarded in the tradition of European graphic arts and is held in major collections including the British Museum and the Contemporary Art Society.
 Works by Silovský from this period are sought after by collectors of 20th-century Czech graphics and social realism. His pieces are noted for their technical precision and emotional resonance.
