About the piece
Painted in 1912 by Polish artist Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, this portrait captures Eugenia Dunin-Borkowska with profound psychological depth. The subject is draped in a luminous, patterned shawl that provides a brilliant contrast to the moody, dark background, characteristic of early 20th-century expressionism.
