About the piece
Painted around 1750 by Augustyn Mirys, this portrait captures Jan Jacek Tarnowski, the Starost of Kahorlice, in a moment of poised elegance. The work is a masterclass in textures, from the fine lace and powdered wig to the meticulous gold thread work on his blue jacket and the heavy, luminous folds of his red mantle.
