The drawing comprises four sketches of standing human figures. At the left edge, there is an image of an old Jewish man (from head to toe) turned right. The man has a grey beard and is wearing a kapoteh and a hat. He is holding a pole – a tree planting bar.
Next to it, there is another sketch of a Jewish man (from head to toe), pictured en face. He has a grey beard and is wearing a kapoteh and a hat. On the right, there is an outline of a large fragment of a piece of clothing or another human figure.
Below, there is a sketch of a countryside woman (from head to toe) pictured in profile, turned left. She is wearing a typical country outfit – a spacious skirt covered with an apron, a broad shawl covering her shoulders, tied into a big knot on the chest, and a headscarf tied under the chin.
Next to the sketch, there is a drawing of a human figure under an umbrella, pictured from head to toe, in back view. The head and the shoulders are hidden under the open umbrella. Visible below is a coat or a Jewish kapoteh, with trousers or a fragment of a long skirt peeking from underneath it.
Bruno Tepa (1865–1898) was born and died in Lviv. He was the nephew of Franciszek Tepa (1829–1889). He was first tutored by his uncle and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Izydor Jabłoński. He also spent some time in Munich. He created drawings, watercolours, caricatures.
Bruno Tepa’s sketches form part of the prewar collection of the National Museum of Przemyśl. Due to missing inventory documentation it has been impossible to determine how it became property of the Museum.
