The artwork, titled “Austrian went into Radziwill,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1914. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized as a poster.
The artwork portrays a stylized, cartoonish scene of a buxom woman in traditional attire facing off against soldiers. The main figure, a woman in a red dress with a patterned white apron and headscarf, wields a stick against an Austrian soldier dressed in yellow. The soldier appears to be recoiling from the impact. In the background, a line of similarly dressed soldiers can be seen struggling and scattered through a mountainous landscape. The overall composition and exaggerated, playful depictions reflect the Naïve Art style, emphasizing simplicity and a folkloric narrative.
