Description: In a series of prints made in Paris, Karpiński also portrayed his favourite model, Jane, wearing a characteristic decorative hat. The etchings show inspiration drawn from Japanese woodblock prints in the way the figures are framed in the picture and the diagonal alignment of the composition. In the work reproduced here, the model is gazing outside the space of the picture, riveting the viewers’ attention. The collection of the Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola includes three prints (etchings) with her portrayals (see also inv. nos. MRS/S/166 and MRS/S/169).
