About the piece
Created in 1901, this oil portrait by Jacek Malczewski captures Alfred Stepek with the psychological depth and luminous technique characteristic of the artist's mature period. The subject is depicted with a direct gaze and a prominent mustache, holding what appears to be laboratory equipment, rendered with confident brushwork that brings a striking presence to the wooden plank support.
