About this work

This painting, "Ballad of the lilies, 'Lady slays her wedded knight'", shows a woman in a long dress holding a sword. She is standing next to a man who is lying on the ground. The woman's face is serious, and the man's face is sad. The background is dark, with some light coming from the top. The painting is done in a style that makes the figures stand out from the background. The woman's dress is detailed, and the man's armor is shiny. The sword in the woman's hand is pointed at the man's chest. This painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
