The Mirror and The Sun are hilarious! As is the Daily Express. It is in Gimnazjum Polskiej Macierzy Polskiej. Wow, it looks lovely on full display. A very unusual first name. I agree, I've never heard it either. Wlastimil Hofman - Dziewczyna z żabą A very unusual first name. |

So similarly, we can consider Mr Hoffman Polish due to his mother`s nationality. Hey, Matejko was also half Czech! Vlastimil
 How about this one - I saw it many times on the walls inside schools, offices etc.  |

Blimey, do you think he likened himself to the skull? It's a bit creepy to say the least! Obraz „Helenka z wazonem” Stanisława Wyspiańskiego |

Stanisława Wyspiańskiego Well, creepy for ordinary people like us but as an artist, he had the right to express himself in that way.  Yes, Wyspiański. PS. Tomorrow I am taking kids to the National Museum to see the famous paintings again. I will take new photos of details. I have googled Polish artists this time and found a new one - surrealist style, like Dali`s.   |

A soldier? He's wearing some type of military cap/beret that the lady seems to be adjusting? Looks like some type of disc on it.

I can't see what is being pinned to that rogatywka? Bit of a guess and I'm sure it's not right, but is he a Polish nobleman ( szlachta), a member of Konfederacja barska? Not sure if time frame is correct though. If I'm right, that hat would be known as a konfederatka. |

Yes, correct, though the January Rising 1863 is depicted here. pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%C5%BCegnanie_i_Powitanie_powsta%C5%84ca_(obraz_Artura_Grottgera)The return  |

Of the two, I prefer the above painting. Something about it is quite haunting and dark.

The Rising failed and repressions start: fighters are tracked down by enemy and sent to Siberia or executed, properties are confiscated, towns lose priviliges, no Polish language in education etc etc. |
