oil, canvas pasted on cardboard, 36 x 52 cm,
Signed l.d.: A. Setkowicz

Painter, studied at the School of Fine Arts in Krakow from 1891 to 1894. He owes his popularity to genre and landscape themes, strongly rooted in the realities of the Polish countryside. Among his best-known motifs are genre scenes set in a winter landscape - hunting trips, sledding with sleighs. He was a very good watercolorist, his oil compositions are usually genre motifs, shown against the backdrop of vast fields and pastures in summer and autumn.
