Marysia with the dog Burek on Ceylon is a 1920 oil by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a woman, Marysia, standing in a lush outdoor setting with a dog, Burek, by her side. The scene is set against a backdrop of vibrant foliage, with the woman and dog positioned in the foreground. The woman is dressed in a blue skirt and a white top, while the dog is light brown with a distinctive black tail. The artist's use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes adds to the dynamic energy of the scene. One interesting aspect of the painting is the way the artist has captured the texture of the woman's clothing and the dog's fur through the use of thick, impasto strokes. This technique gives the painting a tactile quality, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the scene.
