Adam Setkowicz (1876-1945) - Sleigh Scene. Watercolor and gouache on paper signed lower left: A. Setkowicz opening dimensions: approx. 14.5 × 31 cm framed dimensions: approx. 22 × 38 cm framed in a decorative, gilded frame (with some abrasions). An intimate winter scene with a sleigh, horses, and three figures in a landscape. The composition belongs to a characteristic trend in Adam Setkowicz's work, encompassing depictions of sleigh rides, horse-drawn carriages, genre scenes, and customs of the old Polish countryside. The delicate, brightened tones, free-form drawing, and decorative character of the depiction give the work a lightness typical of the artist's watercolor works.
