About the piece
Painted in 1774, this striking portrait depicts Józef Gabriel Stempkowski, the Voivode of Kyiv. He is shown in a dark blue uniform adorned with silver tassels and a bold red sash, gripping a ceremonial mace that signifies his rank and power. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the fabric textures and the dignified expression of the sitter.
