Miksa Róth, who was born in 1865, was an outstanding artist, whose colourful painted glass windows adorn public buildings across Hungary.
His workshop designed several wall decorations for the Szeged Obstetrics and Paediatric Clinics in the 1920s, when medical training and treatment began in several new buildings on the bank of the river Tisza. Apparently, some of the designs were made by Miksa Róth himself, but since the signatures are only initials, this cannot be proven with absolute certainty.
All the designs feature understated and elegant lines to frame the doors leading into the rooms. Tiny flowers appear between delicate leaves in the lower bands, the name of the room in a medallion-like field at the top, and there is an additional pair of lines to frame the whole composition.
