Object description
Tekla Bielska of the Kalinowski family was a wife of Antoni Bielski, the Crown Court Master of the Hunt. The representative portrayal shows the waist-length figure of a woman painted on a dark background. The details of the woman's costume are depicted meticulously: she is wearing a mob cap, a simple cap accessorised with a pink satin ribbon, and a silver-coloured dress with flared sleeves. The woman is shown with many pieces of jewellery, namely pearl bracelets on her hands, a necklace around her neck, expensive earrings in her ears, and rings on her fingers. The work is painted mostly in pearly silver colors. In the funds of Borys Voznytskyi Lviv National Art Gallery, there is an identical portrait of Tekla Belska by Jozef Chojnicki.
