Pastel on paper painting, featuring portrait of young girl. Signed and attr. Stanislaw Wyspianski (Polish, 1869-1907) on bottom left corner and dated 1900. 13.25 x 10.25 inch (33.7 x 26.0 cm). Stanislaw Wyspianski 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. Wyspianski was one of the most outstanding and multifaceted artists of his time in Poland under the foreign partitions.[1] 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 (in addition to the earlier Three Bards: Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Slowacki, and Zygmunt Krasinski).
