Roman amphitheatre, sketch is a 1900 oil by Wandalin Strzałecki, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a rough sketch of an ancient Roman amphitheater. The scene is crowded with people in various poses, some standing and others sitting. The artist has used dark colors to create deep shadows, which adds depth to the scene. The sketch is quite rough, with visible brushstrokes and an unfinished look. This suggests that the artist may have been experimenting with different techniques or styles. The use of dark colors and heavy shadows creates a sense of drama and tension in the scene. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, you can look up more information on this technique.
