This is a realistic spring landscape depicting the famous Tatra lake, called Morskie Oko. Static, open, central composition, with no visible horizon line. The composition is dominated by the dark blue water surface of the lake surrounded by peaks with steep, partially snow-covered slopes, illuminated by the rays of the bright spring sun. The power of nature is emphasized by the atmosphere of peace and quiet. Meticulous registration of details is accompanied by attention to emphasizing realism. This painting is characterized by a fairly wide color range (there are both cold and warm colors). Broken, "dirty" greens predominate. The actual landscape motif was also subjected to some idealizing stylization by the artist.

Sea eye
Morskie Oku - the pearl of the High Tatras. It is considered the most beautiful of the Tatra lakes. It is located in the Rybi Potok Valley, which, interrupting the moraine closing the lake from the north, flows out of it and flows into the pot. "Białki". The lake fascinated great Poles: it was painted by, among others, Walery Eljasz-Radzikowski, Leon Wyczółkowski, Stanisław Gałek, poets admired its blue waters (Maciej Stęczyński, Wincenty Pol, Adam Asnyk, Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer, Jan Kasprowicz), and also musicians (Zygmunt Noskowski, Mieczysław Karłowicz). In the 19th century, a raft floated on the pond, and the tenant of the shelter welcomed arriving tourists with a mortar shot. Morskie Oko was one of the most famous tourist destinations from the "Chałubiński era". Even then it fascinated Poles, and it remains so to this day. The exceptionally beautiful location of the lake, among the large rock walls surrounding it: Mięguszowieckie Szczyty, Cubryna, Mnich, as well as Żabi Niżni, Żabi Wyżni, Niżni Rysy and Rysy, makes a great impression. The name Morskie Oko is associated with an old legend , which said that the lake had an underground connection with the sea, specifically with the Adriatic Sea. In ancient times it was called Fish Lake, because of the wealth of fish living in it (trout live here).
