About the piece
This late 18th-century portrait by Marcello Bacciarelli depicts Michal Poniatowski, the Prince Primate of Poland. Painted around 1790, the work showcases the sitter's high ecclesiastical and noble status through the meticulous rendering of his red vestments, blue sash, and prestigious orders of merit, all set against a softly dappled background.
