About the piece
Painted in 1904 by Kazimierz Pochwalski, this oil portrait captures Filip Zaleski with a sense of quiet authority and gravitas. The masterful use of chiaroscuro emphasizes the sitter's weathered features and striking white mustache against a rich, atmospheric dark background, characteristic of European academic realism.
