While the identity of the male Pierrot figure remains a mystery, the woman pictured in the present work is likely dancer and actress Erwina Kupferova, the artist’s muse and first wife.

Ervína Kupferová, 1922

František Drtikol :: The dancer Ervína Kupferová in The Fire Drum, 1922. “The Fire Drum” has an extravagant subtitle “African drama full of fire, color, rumble, fragrance.” Its author was the no less extravagant Italian writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. For its time it was an ultra modern production, the sets were designed by Italian artist Enrico Prampolini. Although the photographer is not identified, its author was most likely František Drtikol (Kupferová’s husband). | src Prague National Theatre
