In front of a manor house is a 1896 oil by Wandalin Strzałecki, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a group of people gathered in front of a manor house. The scene is set in a rural area, with trees and a fence visible in the background. The people are dressed in traditional clothing, and some are on horseback. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the scene. One interesting detail in the painting is the way the artist has captured the light and shadow on the figures and the surrounding environment. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension in the scene.
