Biography
Jadwiga Tetmajer-Naimska was the eldest daughter of the painter Włodzimierz and Anna Tetmajer, the prototype for the character of Isia in Stanisław Wyspiański's 'Wedding'. She first learned painting under her father's tutelage, then (from around 1903) drawing lessons were given to her by Jozef Siedlecki, and in later years she studied at Maria Niedzielska's School of Fine Arts for Women in Cracow. In 1919 she was in Paris with her father. She painted mostly serene landscapes, genre scenes and a motif from the life of villages near Krakow. She exhibited little, including in 1911 at the TPSP in Cracow, and in 1930 she participated in the First Exhibition of Polish Women Artists at the Bydgoszcz City Museum.
