There are sporadically similar scenes on the market, inspired by the works of the eminent painter, Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski. Usually are signed "J.Konarski", "S. Konarski" "F.Rabski", “F. Poniecki”. Recent research assigns these works to the authorship of Franciszek Bujakiewicz. The analysis of the works and the convergence of the signature's character allow the above image to be attributed to this author.
