Lady in Polish Costume
1837 ?, oil on canvas, 76 x 76 cm
bottom left: W(?) T. r.. it. / 1837(?)
NG S 2128
A young lady with the cap called a krakoska*, with the Polish eagle in the middle, is sitting in front of the wall of a terrace. She is dressed in a coat whose lapels are embroidered in the Polish national colours (red and white, i.e. silver). In the background we see people strolling in a park.
The signature W(?). T.r..it has not yet been securely deciphered and identified. The date is also difficult to read and thus still uncertain. The costume would suggest a time between the second and third decade of the 19th century. Stylistically this picture is close to the work of Giuseppe Tominz/Jožef Tominc (Gorizia 1790 – Gradišče abrove Prvačina 1866).
* Wladimierz Godlewski of Warsaw was kind enough to draw our attention to the name of the cap.
Restored: 1989, Kemal Selmanović.
Provenance: Unknown. After World War II in Brdo Castle near Kranj; entrusted to the Narodna galerija by the Government of Slovenia in 1986.
Owner:
National Gallery of Slovenia, Ljubljana
