Bust of Helena Modrzejewska 

This painting by Polish artist Leon Wyczółkowski depicts a bust of Helena Modrzejewska, a renowned Polish actress. The bust, sculpted in a classical style, is set against a deep red background, which provides a striking contrast to the white marble of the sculpture. This piece exemplifies Wyczółkowski's mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects, both human and inanimate, with meticulous detail and an appreciation for the interplay of light and shadow.
