These artistic gatherings\u2014now legendary\u2014were attended by the intellectual and artistic elite of Krak\u00f3w at the time, including Jacek Malczewski, Lucjan Rydel, Wojciech Kossak, and W\u0142odzimierz Tetmajer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: true }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-open has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-51f9c5ed65e3a0283c1e338e8c9bb5dc is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading\"><button aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" data-wp-on--keydown=\"actions.handleKeyDown\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Audio description<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--inert=\"!state.isOpen\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Olga Bozna\u0144ska &#8211; Portrait of \u0141ucja Detloff, 1917<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Title: Portrait of \u0141ucja Dettloff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artist: Olga Bozna\u0144ska<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Date: 1917<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Type: Painting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technique: oil on cardboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dimensions: height: 33 cm, width: 24 cm; with frame: height: 43 cm, width: 34 cm, depth: 4 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oil painting, displayed vertically, depicts \u0141ucja Dettloff, an elderly, elegant woman sitting in a chair. The whole piece gives the impression of an impressionist work, a delicate, fleeting vision captured in haste. The composition looks like a sketch\u2014unfinished, free-flowing, with visible, distinct brushstrokes. There are no clear contours, no precision. The shapes only emerge from a certain distance. Up close, everything breaks down into separate patches of color that live by their own rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gray, almost white hair is pinned up in a high bun. The model\u2019s face is slender and elongated. Her features are sharp, her cheekbones strongly defined. Individual parts of the face are built up with loose brushstrokes. Light falls from the left, and blue patches create shadows on the right side of the face. The face is pale but flushed. There are light green, and in places also red, patches on the cheeks and under the nose. Perhaps this is a deliberate artistic choice, perhaps an accident. The eyes are distinctive, depicted very generally but capturing the character\u2019s essence. They are large and light blue. White light reflects in them, lending the woman a certain innocence. The lips are small and thin. There is no smile on her face, but there is calmness and good-naturedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The woman sits upright, turned slightly to the left. Her head is turned toward the viewer. She is dressed in a dark navy blue dress with a stand-up collar and puffed sleeves. The fabric is not uniform; it shimmers with color. Blue, green, and purple tones are visible, with red accents in places. A small, bright spot is visible on her chest. It is a green brooch or pocket square. Her hands, clasped on her lap, are captured quickly, without detail. In her fingers she holds something light-colored\u2014perhaps a handkerchief, perhaps a piece of paper. In the upper right corner is the artist\u2019s signature. It is black, blending into the background. The entire painting is composed of scattered colors and pulsating lights. It is the face\u2014luminous, full of life\u2014that is most important. Everything else\u2014the dress, the chair, or the space\u2014serves to highlight it further.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to explore the entry for this object in the digital catalog of the National Museum in Krak\u00f3w.
