About the piece
Painted in 1845 by Marcin Jabłoński, this portrait depicts a young woman in the traditional attire of the Kraków region. She is adorned with an elaborate floral wreath (wianek), multiple strands of red coral beads, and a finely detailed red laced bodice over a white embroidered chemise. The work is a masterclass in 19th-century academic portraiture applied to regional heritage.
