Explanation:
Dzięki ministerialnemu dofinansowaniu w wysokości 160 tys. zł, zakupiony został obraz "Pocztarek" datowany na ok. 1885 rok. Przedstawia objętych mężczyznę (pocztarka czyli listonosza) i kobietę na małym powozie dwukołowym. To replika obrazu z ok. 1883 roku, za który artysta otrzymał złoty medal w Monachium.

Explanation:
Pocztarek ilustruje drobne wydarzenie z życia wiejskiego dworu - oto parobek, wysłany do miasta po listy i gazety, zabrał ze sobą ukochaną i teraz oboje, roześmiani, cieszą się swoim towarzystwem i przyjemną przejażdżką. - http://www.agraart.pl/nowe/nowe/objectn.php?curr=PLN&idd=242...
