Gathering of ancient Polish women is a 1825 oil by Daniel Kondratowicz, depicting Visitation, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a group of women in old-fashioned clothing standing together in a forest. They are all wearing long dresses and head coverings, and some of them have their hands clasped together. The women are arranged in a line, with some of them looking at each other and others looking away. The background is a dark forest with tall trees and green leaves. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. The painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who use chiaroscuro to create dramatic lighting effects.
Daniel Kondratowicz (1765–1844) was an artist.
