About the piece
Painted in 1916 by Stanisław Żukowski, 'Old Library' is a masterful study of light and interior atmosphere. The composition features a polished wooden floor reflecting rectangular patches of sun, leading the eye toward tall windows that frame a vibrant summer garden beyond the quiet, storied walls of the room.
