Pulst in 1966, this work exemplifies the artist’s fascination with landscapes, flowers, and views of old towns. August Pulst’s art education took place at Riga Art School during 1911-15 under V. Purvitis, V. Tillbergs, and B. Borchert. He also worked as a decorator in the theatre “Estonia” and played a vital role in collecting folklore and founding several Estonian museums. His works, primarily watercolors and oil paintings, often bear an ethnographical touch and have been exhibited since 1919.
