Sketch to the Painting "Conversation" is a 1898 oil by Józef Mehoffer, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a group of people in a room. There are four women and one man. The women are wearing long dresses and the man is wearing a long coat. They are all facing each other and seem to be talking. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow coming from the left side of the painting. The walls are a dark color, and there is a window on the right side of the painting with a red frame. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a focus on capturing the details of the scene. It is a quiet and intimate moment, with the people lost in conversation. You might also want to check out the technique of chiaroscuro.
Józef Mehoffer (19 March 1869 – 8 July 1946) was a Polish painter and decorative artist, one of the leading artists of the Young Poland movement and one of the most revered Polish artists of his time.
