About the piece
Painted in 1913 by the prominent Polish artist Jacek Malczewski, this oil on canvas depicts Józef Sare, the Vice-President of Krakow. The work expertly balances the realism of a formal portrait with the artist's characteristic symbolist elements, such as the small creature held in the sitter's gloved hand, set against an industrializing urban landscape.
