About the piece

Painted in 1905 by Józef Czajkowski, this intimate portrait depicts the artist's wife, Leta. The work is characterized by the striking contrast between the heavy, dark textures of the fur wrap and the delicate, luminous rendering of the subject’s face, offset by a splash of deep teal in the background.
