About the piece
Attributed to the circle of Hyacinthe Rigaud, this 1696 portrait depicts Aleksander Benedykt Sobieski with the dignified air of Polish nobility. The artist skillfully captures the interplay of light on the sitter’s polished armor, the delicate lace of his cravat, and the luxurious folds of his velvet cloak, offset by a bold blue sash.
