Stanisław Wyspiański was born in 1869 and died in 1907. He was a Polish playwright, painter and poet, as well as interior and furniture designer. A patriotic writer, he created a series of symbolic, national dramas within the artistic philosophy of the Young Poland Movement. Wyspiański was one of the most outstanding and multifaceted artists of his time in Poland under the foreign partitions. He successfully joined the trends of modernism with themes of the Polish folk tradition and Romantic history. Unofficially, he came to be known as the Fourth Polish Bard.

Author - Stanisław Wyspiański

Painting title -  Portrait of a Girl

Theme - portrait

Date of creation – 1900.

Artistic period – Young Poland (Młoda Polska)

Technique used - pastel, size - 49,2 cm x 39,3 cm.

The portrait show a Slavic girl, with plaited hair falling freely over her shoulder. The plait is tied with a black ribbon. The child is wearing in a blue dress. The eponymous girl has her head tilted to the side, she appears to be lost in thought or maybe tired or shy. The effect of so realistically capturing this moment was possible due to great mastery of drawing. The shading and sure lines make the girl’s face appear delicate and full of expression. The texture and dynamic hairstyle were achieved through the use of clear, soft, curving lines done in pastel.
