Summary/Abstract: Upon the basis of the outcome of a survey of source material and literature on the subject the author discussed the iconographic theme and history of Saint Stanisław the Bishop Resurrecting Piotrowin, a painting from the first half of the seventeenth century in the parish church in Drużbin (voivodeship of Łódź), as well as the state of its preservation. The characteristic arrangement of the layers of grounding became a pretext for a detailed technological analysis and an attempt at determining the history and tradition of an untypical workshop. Directives borrowed from old painting treatises made it possible to interpret the results of research conducted with the assistance of various apparatus. An analysis of data provided by investigations conducted by other scientific centres enabled the author to indicate concrete workshop references. The summary draws attention to dependencies between the structure of the object and the state of its preservation.
