Signed on the back:

Karolina Świdecka was born and creates in Cracow where she graduated with honors from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2001 in the painting studio of Prof. Adam Wsiołkowski and in the drawing studio of Prof. Janusz Orbitowski. She has had a number of individual and group exhibitions in prestigious exhibition halls, including the Historical Museum of Cracow and the Wawel Conference Center. Świdecka's works find their way into private collections around the world.
The painter is inspired by man and the reality around him.
One of Świdecka's more interesting projects was to paint portraits of famous Cracovians in cooperation with the Historical Museum of the City of Cracow, which resulted in a documentary film about the project produced by Canal Plus. As a result, the Historical Museum enriched its collection with 33 portraits of important Krakow personalities painted by Świdecka, including Czesław Milosz, Krzysztof Penderecki, Anna Polony, Anna Dymna, Jan Kanty-Pawluśkiewicz, Jerzy Trela, Jan Nowicki, and Grzegorz Turnau.
