Uhlan's homecoming is a 1900 oil by Jan Czesław Moniuszko, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a woman kneeling on a red cushion, her hands clasped together in prayer. She wears a long, white dress with a red vest and a white apron. In front of her is a small table with a white tablecloth, holding a book and a rosary. The room is decorated with various objects, including a clock, a vase, and several paintings on the walls. To the right of the woman, three men stand, two of them in military uniforms. The room's decor suggests a sense of elegance and refinement. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and devotion. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
Jan Czesław Moniuszko (1853–1908) was an artist, born in Vilnius.
