About the piece
This tender oil painting from 1825 depicts Eleonora Morawska with her young grandson. Attributed to an unknown Polish painter, the work captures the sitters with a sense of dignity and quiet affection, highlighting the delicate translucent lace of the woman's bonnet against the rich, muted tones of their garments.
