Umizgi huculskie is a 1896 oil by Wacław Szymanowski, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a man and woman embracing in a lush, green field. The woman, dressed in a long, dark skirt and white blouse, stands barefoot with her arms crossed. The man, wearing a white shirt and tan pants, wraps his arms around her waist. In the background, a few trees and a blue sky are visible. A quiet detail is the way the man's face is pressed against the woman's head, conveying a sense of intimacy and affection. The overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and serene.
