Jan Matejko, seated in a deep armchair wearing glasses and holding a cane in his left hand, embraces his ten-year-old daughter Helena, who stands beside him and looks at her father. Beside them, leaning against the back of the chair, stands Teodora Matejkowa (n\u00e9e Giebu\u0142towska), dressed in a dark dress and a matching coat with wide sleeves, and a hat pinned to her head. The photograph was taken against a neutral background in Jan Mieczkowski\u2019s studio, which operated in Warszawa in the 1870s. This is indicated by the name of the studio owner visible in the bottom left-hand corner of the cardboard mount onto which the photographic print was affixed. The photo was taken during an artistic journey that led through Cz\u0119stochowa and Warszawa to the fields of Grunwald, and then through Malbork and Toru\u0144 to Pomorze, all the way to Gda\u0144sk. According to the biographer\u2019s memoirs, Matejko stayed in Warszawa for a few days at the end of September 1877.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"38362\" src=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-z-zona-Teodora-i-corka-Helena-699x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sepiowe studyjne zdj\u0119cie portretowe trzech os\u00f3b: siedz\u0105cy m\u0119\u017cczyzna z brod\u0105 i lask\u0105, po lewej stoj\u0105ca m\u0142oda dziewczyna w p\u0142aszczyku z kokard\u0105, po prawej stoj\u0105ca kobieta w ciemnym futrzanym p\u0142aszczu i wysokim kapeluszu, na jednolitym tle i kartonowym oprawieniu z zaokr\u0105glonymi rogami.\" class=\"wp-image-38362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-z-zona-Teodora-i-corka-Helena-699x1024.jpg 699w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-z-zona-Teodora-i-corka-Helena-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-z-zona-Teodora-i-corka-Helena-768x1126.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-z-zona-Teodora-i-corka-Helena-1920x2814.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-z-zona-Teodora-i-corka-Helena-scaled.jpg 1747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to explore the information about this item in the digital catalogue of the National Museum in Krak\u00f3w.
