About the piece

Painted in 1899 by Henryk Siemiradzki, this oil study focuses on the luminous detail of a single wing. Originally created as a preparatory sketch for the curtain of the Lviv Municipal Theater, the piece stands alone as a striking example of late 19th-century naturalism, showcasing brilliant emerald and indigo tones against a simple, warm paper background.
