About the piece

Created in 1812 by artist Maciej Topolski, this formal portrait depicts a clergyman in dark robes accented by a vibrant red stole and distinguished medals. The subject's steady gaze and the small book held in his hands evoke a sense of intellectual and spiritual gravity, typical of European Neoclassical portraiture.
