Anna Bilińska (1854–1893) was a Polish
Realist painter. Born in
Zlatopil, she moved to Paris to study at the
Académie Julian. Bilińska is one of the first Polish female artists to receive professional artistic education and critical acclaim. Her paintings include
A Negress and
At the Seashore. This self-portrait of Bilińska, wearing an apron and holding a bundle of brushes, was painted in oil on canvas in 1887 and is now in the collection of the
National Museum in
Kraków.
