The article aims at presenting the figure of the painter Maria first married name Chlebowska second married name Madeyska née Mikułowska (1864-1936). Maria attended the Adrian Baraniecki Higher Courses for Women. Her artistic interests would have most likely remained but a maiden’s hobby, had she not met Stanisław Chlebowski in 1876. The painter noticed her talent, encouraged her to continue her education in this direction, and even supported her financially. In 1880, Maria married Stanisław, and then left with him for Paris where he had been living for several years. Under her husband’s guidance, the young painter created works showing Oriental genre scenes and still lifes. In Paris, Chlebowska’s works were appreciated and purchased, among others, by representatives of New York art dealers, the Knoedlers. Maria’s oeuvre was also noticed by the Polish press. Her promising painter’s career was, however, interrupted by her husband’s sudden disease which forced them to leave Paris. After Chlebowski’s death (1884). No traces have been found of her artistic output after 1894.
