About the piece
Created in 1902 by Stanisław Wyspiański, this intimate pastel work depicts Wanda Nowak in a moment of quiet reflection. A leading figure of the Young Poland movement, Wyspiański combines rhythmic line-work with a soft, atmospheric palette, beautifully contrasting the delicate features of the child with the organic forms of the surrounding foliage.
