To the Advent dawn mass, sketch is a 1890 oil by Wojciech Piechowski, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting shows a dark, moody scene. In the center, a church stands with its door open, letting out a warm glow. People in dark clothing are walking towards the church. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The painting is done in dark colors, with touches of brighter colors inside the church. The brushstrokes are rough and visible, giving the painting a textured look. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
