Gardener and a Little Colonel

About this work

This painting shows a man in traditional clothing holding a young child. The man has a mustache and wears a vest over a white shirt, with a red and white striped skirt and boots. He holds the child, who is dressed in a yellow outfit and red hat, in his arms. The background is a wooded area with trees and a building in the distance. The man and child are standing on a dirt path, with a watering can nearby. The scene appears to be a quiet moment between the two characters. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
