The "Plovdiv Market" has sealed not only the different garments and ethnic diversity in post-liberation Bulgaria, but also the different characters.

In Plovdiv, Mаrкvichka also created his first oil paintings: "Plovdiv Marketplace" /the little one/ (1883), "Sakadji" 1887), "Plovdiv Market" / the big one/ (1888) and portraits.

"Dr. P. Danchev" (1883), "Yenick among Cherries" (1887) and others. In 1885 East Rumelia joined Bulgaria, and four years later she moved to Sofia (1889). Here he finds his friends from Plovdiv, who are key figures in Bulgaria and together they develop active public activities. He creates some of his most significant works in the field of the rural folk genre - the two variants of “Rachenitsa” (1894 and 1906), the two versions of "Zushnitsa" (1895 and 1899).

From his short curriculum vitae in Czech, we learn curious facts related to the Bulgarians' people's psychology from the past. "It was not possible to find a man to pose," recalls the artist for the first years after his arrival in Bulgaria, as a drawing teacher in Plovdiv in 1881. Prejudice and superstition for perpetual doom "dazzling" were a serious obstacle to the creation of studio drawings, even of small numbers not only of people but also of animals. And without them, it was not possible to create a picturesque composition reflecting realistically our patriarchal lifestyle, customs, and costumes - a subject on which Mаrkvichka devotes more than half of his work. "I walked down the street," he says, "I often stopped hiding someone from seeing me and drawing an interesting plot. I happened to paint a donkey: as soon as his owner saw me, he took him away, not to whine. "

His drawings are all possible techniques - pencil, chalk, ink, sangin, watercolor. The hatch is lightweight and shapes volumetric shapes by soft and smooth transitions from dark to light. There is a lack of sharp opposition between shrouded and illuminated places. Painting studios for oil portraits are also preserved, among which the most valuable one is that of Markvichka's student - Vladimir Dimitrov-Maistora.
