The composition of the sketch reflects Matejko's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion and narrative through his art.

In the sketch, Skarga is depicted standing, gesturing emphatically as he addresses the seated nobles. The expressions and body language of the figures surrounding him suggest a range of reactions, from contemplation to skepticism. This dynamic interaction underscores the significance of Skarga's message and its impact on his audience.

Matejko's work is characterized by its historical accuracy and rich symbolism. Through his art, he sought to inspire a sense of national pride and reflection on Poland's past. "Sketch for 'Skarga's Sermon'" exemplifies Matejko's dedication to capturing the essence of Polish history and culture.

The sketch is an important piece within Matejko's oeuvre, offering insight into his creative process and the development of his larger compositions. It remains a valuable study for understanding Matejko's artistic approach and his contribution to Polish national identity through art.
