Fasnachtshelge "Fraueschtimmrächt" is a 1959 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting is a wild mix of bright colors and funny faces. On the left, a woman in a green dress is holding a man who looks surprised. A bald man in a purple coat sits next to her, holding a cup. On the right, a serious-looking man in a dark uniform points at you. Below him, a tiny cartoon guy in a suit and a red-haired woman with a big hat add to the chaos. The text is in German and looks like it’s making fun of voting or politics. The uniformed man’s badge and hat suggest he might be an official of some kind. If you like this mix of humor and satire, check out Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, Max.
