About the piece

In this 1908 oil on paperboard, Polish Symbolist Jacek Malczewski captures a quiet, sun-drenched interior. A figure, identified as a chimera, is seen from behind playing a lute, seated in a classic bentwood chair. The composition is unified by a palette of soft greens and warm wood tones, accented by window-side greenery and an artist's palette in the foreground.
