About this work

This is a wooden panel with faded paint and handwritten marks. The wood shows scratches and wear, and there’s a small paper label with numbers and names stuck inside. The top has a smudged signature-like scrawl, and the bottom left corner has the letters “M1” and the number “2039” painted in dark ink. The name “Bucevschi” appears on a label, which might hint at where this piece was kept. The wood looks old, with a rough, uneven texture. Look up Hugo Kołłątaj to see who painted this.
