Girl with a Basket of Fruits and a Lamb, 1923
Girl with a Basket of Fruits and a Lamb' from 1923 by Tadeusz Makowski depicts a village girl wearing a headscarf, holding a wicker basket full of fruits and a lamb. It was likely painted during the artist's stay in the French village of La Comelle. The composition features lyrical realism and naivety in expression, with vivid colors and a warm atmosphere distinguishing it among Makowski's works. The painting was exhibited at the artist's solo exhibition in Paris in 1927 and has been reproduced many times.
