Signum, Pedeapsă is a work by Rezső Haáz, held at Haáz Rezső Museum.
This print shows a big crowd of people in dark, heavy clothes. Some wear hats, others hold scarves or bundles. A few figures stand out in the front, with one person carrying a bright red-and-yellow cloth. The background has arches and a tall, dark structure that looks like a church or monument. The colors are mostly muted, but the red cloth stands out sharply. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show the crowd’s movement and energy. The lighting is simple, with shadows under chins and hats. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
