About the piece

Painted in 1880 by Juliusz Kossak, this masterful watercolor portrays the Lisowczycy, a renowned unit of 17th-century Polish light cavalry. The composition is anchored by a commanding figure on a white stallion, surrounded by soldiers, flags, and a distant hilltop castle, reflecting the artist's expertise in equestrian and historical subjects.
