A gathering amid garden detail

In the Summer House places richly dressed figures around a pale table beneath green foliage and a tall lattice. Flowers and small objects occupy the lower foreground. The close arrangement keeps clothing, plants and gestures active within the same bright, densely described outdoor space.

Working ground beside the water

Powiśle, Bank of the Vistula in Warsaw looks across uneven riverbank terrain towards buildings, small boats and scattered figures. Paths and timber structures divide the near space. The people remain small within the setting, giving ordinary work and movement a place within the wider inhabited bank.

Boats beneath a darkening urban sky

Evening on the Seine places a low vessel on reflective water before a bridge and distant façades. A broad blue band of cloud closes the upper view. Warm water and dark silhouettes create a quieter, more compressed atmosphere than the brightly occupied garden scene.
