Joyful Baśka 1891

"Joyful Baśka" is a portrait painting created by Polish artist Olga Boznanska in 1891. The artwork depicts a young woman, likely a member of the Boznanska family, with a soft smile and thoughtful expression. Her clothing, a white dress with a striped shawl, is characteristic of late 19th-century fashion. Boznanska's use of soft, muted tones, especially in the woman's skin and clothing, creates a sense of intimacy and realism. This portrait, known for its understated elegance and captivating subject, is considered one of Boznanska's most celebrated works.
