About this work

Overview

This oil painting, created in 1900 by Tytus Pilecki, is a portrait of a young woman. It is part of the National Museum's collection in Warsaw.

Subject & Meaning

The subject is depicted with her hair pulled back, wearing a simple light-blue dress, and gazing to the side. A dark, plain background emphasizes her face.

Technique & Style

The artist employed loose brushstrokes, particularly on the subject's hair and neck, creating a soft, unfinished appearance. The use of chiaroscuro, a strong contrast between light and dark, highlights her cheekbones and jaw while casting shadows on the rest of her face.
