Sphinx and a woman phantom is a 1850 oil by Wilhelm Kotarbiński, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a woman in a flowing white dress, her hair adorned with flowers, standing in front of a large stone sphinx. The sphinx is dark and imposing, with a subtle glow surrounding the woman. In the foreground, flowers and plants are visible, adding a touch of color and life to the scene. The background is a soft, muted landscape with hills and mountains in the distance. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and the sphinx.
