Both the beautiful model and the background are painted entirely with a knife. A high level of contrast is provided and the colours made extremely rich, bold and lustrous, thus creating a very contemporary feel overall.
Model Katarzyna appears almost luminous as she curiously gazes to the light source, innocent of her artist, sensually expressive to her onlookers, yet dignified in her appearance.
"A late lark twitters from the quiet skies: And from the west, Where the sun, his day's work ended, Lingers as in content, There falls on the old, gray city An influence luminous and serene, A shining peace." (William Henley)
It's a large, sensual and very dramatic, moody and atmospheric painting that would not look out of place as a feature in any location.
