This text is devoted to double portraits of S. Wyspiański. Macierzyństwo [Motherhood], a portrait
of Henryk Opieński and of Eliza Parmeńska becomes for the author an inspiration not only to
speak about plastic quality of these works, but also refer to fundamental questions concerning the
cognition of human psyche. They also direct the researcher's attention towards such problems as
doubling, mirror reflection, or a motif of a lookalike.
