Enthroned Mary with an angel from the scene "Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary" (left part). Artistic reconstruction of a stained-glass panel from the Dominican church in Kraków

This 1895 reconstruction of the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary — specifically the left portion showing Mary enthroned with an angel — continues Wyspiański's systematic documentation of the Dominican church's medieval stained-glass programme. The Coronation of the Virgin was one of the grandest subjects in medieval ecclesiastical iconography, typically occupying a central position in the upper registers of Gothic glazing programmes. The scene's bilateral symmetry — with Christ on one side crowning Mary on the other, attended by angels — made it particularly suited to multi-panel window compositions, and Wyspiański's reconstruction of the left portion (Mary and angel) on tracing paper preserves evidence of a composition otherwise lost to time. These documentary drawings, now in the National Museum in Kraków, form part of the important scholarly record of Kraków's medieval art before later restoration work.

Tracing paper allows Wyspiański to work across multiple sheets in sequence, building up the full Coronation scene panel by panel. The medium's transparency enables registration of adjacent sections. His line work in reconstructing the medieval figure style shows disciplined suppression of his own mature stylistic preferences in service of historical accuracy.
