About the piece
Painted in 1794 by Polish artist Kazimierz Wojniakowski, this portrait captures Józef Kossakowski in his striking late 18th-century military attire. The work is characterized by its sophisticated rendering of materials—from the delicate translucent layers of the ruffled lace cravat to the heavy gold fringe of the epaulettes—set against a dramatic, atmospheric sky that lends a heroic quality to the sitter.
