*
Felicja Czajkowska was a Polish painter active in Warsaw in the early 20th century and a student of Leon Wyczółkowski. She became famous primarily for her still lifes, which were distinguished by their thoughtful composition, broad painting technique, and vivid, impressionistic color palette. She also created atmospheric landscapes that captured the light and mood of nature. Her works were frequently exhibited at the Zachęta in Warsaw, where they were well-received by critics and the public alike.
