"Poisoned Well" is a painting by Polish artist Jacek Malczewski, known for his Symbolist style. The artwork depicts a young girl sitting in the foreground, while a man drinks from a cup in the middle, seemingly oblivious to the winged figure, seemingly an angel, who sits behind him, cradling a skull, a symbol of death. The dark and somber atmosphere of the painting, along with the symbolic imagery, suggests a tragic and possibly fatal event. Malczewski's work often explores themes of death, love, and the human condition, and "Poisoned Well" is a powerful example of this.
