About the piece
Created in 1903 by the renowned Polish artist Jacek Malczewski, this oil on cardboard portrait depicts the influential art collector Feliks Jasieński. The composition is a masterclass in Polish Symbolism, juxtaposing the sitter's piercing, realistic gaze with enigmatic, horned figures that suggest a rich, allegorical narrative.
