The fencing of the ceremonial courtyard in the Wilanów royal palace rarely attracted scholarly attention. However, a recent archaeological survey and archive inquiries brought to light new research material, which allows a more detailed description of the transformations of this part of the residence's spatial arrangement. The barrier, for the first time visible in the site plan of 1682, consisted of a row of pillars with spans filled with iron railings. After Elżbieta Sieniawska purchased the Wilanów estate, the space of the ceremonial courtyard was restricted by the construction of the palace's wings. The alterations may have included the courtyard's fence, as shown by the 17th- and 18th-century site plans and the discovery of the remains of two variants of its course during excavations. When the palace was owned by Maria Zofia and August Czartoryski and Izabela Lubomirska, the fence consisted of stone columns alternating with wooden ones; some of the pillars were later demolished or exchanged for stonework. In 1784, as a result of the construction of new pavilions at the southern wing, the fence lost its practical function and deteriorated. Destroyed during military operations in 1794, it was rebuilt almost entirely of wood. In 1801, Stanisław Kostka Potocki had both courtyards and the barrier dismantled and replaced with an oval lawn. Potocki sought to transform the setting of his residence according to the fashion of the day, that is, in the spirit of English designs he had seen during his travels and the Puławy estate with which he was familiar. His actions were intended to increase, not without an element of rivalry, the splendour of his family.

W artykule poddano interpretacji jedną z rzeźb z wilanowskiej bramy głównej, która w dotychczasowej literaturze uchodziła za przedstawienie niedźwiedzia, gdy w rzeczywistości jest to przedstawienie psa. Na podstawie odnalezionej wzmianki archiwalnej udało się ustalić, że owa rzeźba pochodzi z wilanowskiego ogrodu, a na pałacowej bramie została ustawiona dopiero w 1721 r., za czasów, gdy dawna królewska rezydencja była własnością hetmanowej wielkiej koronnej Elżbiety z Lubomirskich Sieniawskiej. Jak dotychczas, jest to jedyna znana rzeźba ogrodowa z wilanowskiego ogrodu, pochodząca zapewne jeszcze z czasów Jana III Sobieskiego.

The article analyzes one of the sculptures from the Wilanów main gate, which in the existing literature was considered to represent a bear. In fact, however, it is a representation of a dog. Archive sources revealed that this sculpture came from the Wilanów garden. It was not placed at the entrance gate until 1721, at a time when the former royal residence was owned by Queen Elżbieta Helena Sieniawska née Lubomirska. It is so far the only known garden sculpture from the Wilanow garden, probably coming from the times of King Jan III Sobieski.
