Farewell to the insurgent
In the first painting, Farewell to the insurgent, we see a scene where the wife fondly bids farewell to the insurgent setting out for the fight for Poland 's freedom, pinning the national bow to the corner. A man of noble origin is said to be farewell by a Polish woman dressed in mourning black, who for the good of her homeland is ready to give up her personal happiness. Both characters are looking at each other. In the background you can see a branch of Krakus.
