Leonard Wintorowski, "A bouquet in a vase", oil / cardboard 1910. The painting in the original oak frame with a glass measuring 44.5 x 34.5 cm, the work itself measuring 14 x 9.5 cm. Textural painting, work painted with great skill testifying to the great talent of the artist. In the upper right corner, the artist's handwritten signature with the date "L. Wintorowski 1910" is visible. The thematic work is undoubtedly very unusual for a battle painter, being a kind of "white crow" in the painter's oeuvre. The image is perfect for a small living room, boudoir ... Leonard Wintorowski (1868 - 1926), Polish painter, battle fighter. In the years 1895-1897 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow; initially under the supervision of Leopold Loeffler, later with Teodor Axentowicz.

During World War I, he served in the Austrian army as a painter and war correspondent. After the war, he moved to Warsaw.

He also dealt with wall painting (polychrome in the collegiate church in Jarosław, 1912-13) and book illustration (Twelve Legends and Legends from Krakow, Lviv 1899).
