Portrait of Jan Nawrocki

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to be detectives and solve the mystery of this painting called "Portrait of Jan Nawrocki." It was painted by a really talented artist named Jan Wacław Zawadowski a long, long time ago, in 1927! nn Can you guess what he used to make this painting? If you look closely, you'll see it's not paint but something called pastels – kind of like colorful crayons! They give the painting a soft and dreamy look, don't they? nn Now, let's meet the star of our painting – Jan Nawrocki! He looks very serious, doesn't he? Look at his jacket and hair. You can almost feel how soft they are just by looking at the painting! That's how good the artist was! nn What do you think Jan Nawrocki is thinking about?



Now, let's look at the background. It's not just an empty space; it's like a secret code! Do you see the old castle, the pink house with stairs, and the little cottage? nn What do you think they mean? Maybe they tell us something about Jan Nawrocki's life, like where he lived or what he loved. It's like a puzzle, and we get to imagine the story! nn This painting is like a window into the past, showing us what life was like back then. It also reminds us that everyone has a story, even the people in paintings! nn I hope you enjoyed being art detectives with me today! Now, let's go explore and see what other mysteries we can uncover in the museum!
