Description
Realistic painting in acrylic created by artist Paul Meijering of Polish painter Anna BiliĆska (8 December 1854 - 18 April 1893), known as Anna BiliĆska-Bohdanowicz. A representative of realism, she spent most of her life in Paris and is considered the "first internationally known Polish female artist". The original painting is 120 x 90 cm
Anna BiliĆska is best known for her portraits, especially those featuring women, painted with great intuition. Her Self-Portrait with Apron and Brushes (1887) developed a new self-portrait pose by placing the artist in front of a model's background, declaring that she is her own model.
Two of BiliĆska's paintings disappeared after World War II: A Negress (1884) and The Italian Woman (1880). The former was rediscovered at an auction in Germany in 2011 and successfully recovered in 2012 thanks to the efforts of Poland's Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. It is currently on display at the National Museum in Warsaw.
