The sleeves are depicted in a realistic style, with folds and creases visible in the fabric. The artist has used oil paint to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The painting is a study for a larger work, "The Death of Barbara Radziwiłł." It is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
