About the piece

Painted in 1912 by Polish modernist Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, this portrait of Eugenia Dunin-Borkowska showcases the artist's unique blend of psychological depth and decorative flair. The subject is depicted in elegant attire of fur and velvet, contrasted sharply by the vibrant, swirling patterns that fill the background, creating a sense of dynamic tension typical of Witkiewicz’s early work.
