In the painter's studio is a 1891 oil by Rudolf Hirth du Frênes, depicting sitting, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a dimly lit studio with two men, one sitting and the other standing. The seated man wears a red scarf and a hat, while the standing man is dressed in dark attire and a black hat. A table is positioned to the right of the seated man. The room is characterized by its dark atmosphere, with the only visible light source coming from the left side of the painting. The artist has employed chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in the subjects. The painting invites the viewer to explore the world of chiaroscuro, a technique that has been used by many artists throughout history.
