Saint Stanislaus, bishop. Artistic reconstruction of a stained glass panel from the Dominican church in Kraków is a 1898 gouache by Stanisław Wyspiański, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a bishop, dressed in ornate robes and a mitre, holding a staff in his right hand. The image is rendered in ink on a beige background, with the bishop's face and hands detailed in a more realistic style. The rest of the image features bold lines and geometric patterns, giving it a sense of flatness. The bishop's robes are decorated with intricate designs, and his mitre features a distinctive shape. The staff he holds is topped with a decorative finial, adding to the overall sense of grandeur. The image is surrounded by a red border, which helps to frame the central figure.
