Kucie kos (Scythe forging) from the series “Polonia” by Artur Grottger, 1863:

about the artist: grottger was a poor little meow meow who really wanted to participate in the uprising in 1863. he even came to lwów to join. but all his friends were like ARTUR BABY NO!!!!! YOU ARE A SICKLY CHILD (he was like 25 or something) so he stayed at home and while the uprising was happening he made the Polonia series depicting scenes from insurgents’ lives. his brother was an insurgent and got exiled to siberia for it btw. and grottger also made a Lithuania series bc he was all about that Commonwealth restitution cause. and he continued to be obsessed with the uprising but who can blame him. i mean he also painted other things both historical and portraits of his contemporaries but this is what he is famous for i think

Artur Grottger 1837-1867 “Portrait of Maria Sawiczewskal” (the Artist's Sister) 1863-1864 Oil on panel Photo is taken by @robertpuffjr Among the many portraits painted by Grottger, standing out for their casual execution and personal staging are those of the artist's loved ones - his fiancée, relatives, and friends. The artist painted several portraits of his sister Maria (1839-1905), with whom he shared a very close bond. This unfinished likeness was made during the years of national mourning after the fall of the January 1863 Uprising, which is alluded to via the woman's modest attire. In 1865, Maria married the painter Wadyslaw Sawiczewski. (This writeup is taken from the description at the museum.)
