About the piece

This 1737 oil painting depicts Jan Klemens Branicki, a prominent Polish-Lithuanian magnate. The subject is shown in a state of military dignity, clad in gleaming plate armor and draped with a luxurious red fur-lined cloak. His authoritative presence is underscored by the ceremonial mace held in his hand and the refined rendering of the period's aristocratic attire.
