From the collection of National Museum in Warsaw
In front of a tent is a 1814 oil by Aleksander Orłowski, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
In the painting, a group of people are gathered in front of a tent, with one person standing and the others seated. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. The artist has used oil paint to create the image, which is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw, where it is part of the museum's collection of genre scenes.
