Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski (1849–1915) was a leading representative of the Polish artistic community associated with Munich. Since his international debut at the world exhibition in Vienna in 1873, he has enjoyed unwavering interest from painting enthusiasts. His element was realistic, but also idyllic scenes from rural life, from his culture – not work, but leisure. Scenes of wedding processions or carriage rides, atmospheric returns home, or dramatic wolf attacks are the most famous motifs of his paintings.

The artist's mastery lies in his ability to capture the lyrical atmosphere of the end of the day, the change of seasons, the moment of joy or reflection, the ability to convey the essence of the presented world of small Polish towns and noble backwoods and moments from the lives of their inhabitants.
