Farewell to the Manor House is a 1900 oil by Jacek Malczewski, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a nude woman standing in a room, with a man draped in a cloak behind her. The woman is positioned in the center of the image, while the man is situated to her left. The room's walls are adorned with windows and wood paneling, and a white rug covers the floor. The woman's nudity is the focal point of the image, drawing the viewer's attention to her figure. The man in the background adds a sense of depth and context to the scene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a dramatic contrast between light and dark, emphasizing the woman's form and the textures of the room.
Jacek Malczewski (Polish: ; 15 July 1854 – 8 October 1929) was a Polish symbolist painter who was one of the central figures of the patriotic Young Poland movement.
