Portrait of Helena Białynicka-Birula

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a very special painting called Portrait of Helena Białynicka-Birula. nn Can you say "Helena Białynicka-Birula?" That's a tricky name! nn This painting is like a window into the past. It shows us what Helena Białynicka-Birula looked like a long time ago, back in 1930! nn What do you see in the painting? nn --- nn That's right! We see a woman. She's wearing a very pretty green dress. The artist used lots of beautiful colors in this painting, like greens, yellows, and pinks. Don't they look bright and cheerful? nn Look closely at her face. What do you think she might be thinking about? nn --- nn The artist used special tools called pastels to create this painting. Pastels are like colorful crayons that make soft and smooth lines. If you look closely, you can see all the little lines the artist made to create Helena's face and dress. nn What do you think it would feel like to touch the painting? nn --- nn This painting is very old and very special. It's kept safe here in the Museum of the Middle Pomerania in Słupsk so that everyone can come and see it. nn Just like we looked at Helena's portrait today, people will be able to look at this painting many years from now! Isn't that amazing? nn Thank you for joining me today! I hope you had fun learning about this beautiful portrait. Now, let's go see what other treasures we can find in the museum!
