This poster is a painting of a man in a formal frock coat sitting at a piano with sheet music in front of him. He wears small, wire rim glasses. In front of the piano is a woman with a bare neck and shoulders, wearing a pearl choker, earrings, and pearls intertwined through her dark hair, which is worn up. Behind them, in a burgundy, are tiers of people in opera boxes. The curtain is directly behind him, and there is a scene on stage from the opera Halka. There is a man in traditional peasant dress, holding an ax up in the air in front of a cabin and pine trees. This film is a 1938 Polish production. The title has been directly painted onto the poster. Additionally, the production information and credits have been painted over.
