Our Lady Says Farewell to Christ. The Cycle "Legend of Our Lady" is a 1898 oil by Piotr Stachiewicz, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a woman in a white robe standing beside a man in a dark robe. The woman gently touches the man's head, while he bends forward, his hands clasped together. They stand on stone steps leading to a doorway, with a landscape of trees and hills in the background. The woman's white robe and halo suggest she is a religious figure. The man's dark robe and bent posture convey a sense of reverence or sorrow. The artist, Piotr Stachiewicz, used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and emotion in this scene.
Piotr Stachiewicz (29 October 1858, Nowosiółki Gościnne, (now Ukraine) - 14 April 1938, Kraków) was a Polish painter and illustrator.
