Description January Uprising in Poland, 1863:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_…

Rozalia Buczacka - the officer of the January Uprising , most probably of the National Gendarmerie, a Polish noblewoman of the Muslim nobility, of Tatar origin. She was married to Adam (also the participant of the Uprising) and she had one children. Unfortunately, very little is known about her,. One document has been preserved – it’s one page of the inventory of insurgents that confirms her existence and religion. Apart from this, only Polish Tatars mention her. The dates of her birth and death are unknown.

This is very beautiful, her outfit looks wonderful and you have great job portraying the background behind her, the whole scene looks awesome! Also, thank you very much for sharing her story, I never heard about her but I think that such interesting, complex figures of patriotic fighters from Polish uprisings can be very inspiring. Great work!
