About the piece

Painted in 1910 by the renowned Polish artist Olga Boznańska, this portrait of Jadwiga Sapieżyna exemplifies the artist's signature atmospheric style. The sitter is depicted with quiet dignity, her dark attire providing a stark contrast to the shimmering, dappled background of teal and warm gold tones characteristic of Boznańska's modernist approach. The visible texture of the paperboard support adds an authentic, tactile depth to the reproduction.
