About the piece

This 1904 pastel portrait by Polish master Stanisław Wyspiański depicts Adam Chmiel with a bold, modern sensibility. The work is characterized by a dramatic use of light, where vibrant yellow highlights sharply contrast against deep, atmospheric blues, showcasing the artist's masterful command of the pastel medium during the Young Poland period.
