About the piece
Created in 1846 by Jan Nepomucen Głowacki, this portrait of Aleksander Płonczyński is a fine example of mid-19th-century Polish realism. The artist focuses on the sitter's calm and intelligent gaze, using a restricted but effective color palette where the vibrant teal of the collar provides a sophisticated contrast to the warm, earthy tones of the background.
