About the piece

Painted in 1873, this oil on canvas portrait by Aleksander Kotsis depicts Jan Zawiejski with remarkable psychological depth. The artist employs a restrained, dark palette to draw focus to the subject's face, showcasing masterful technique in the subtle gradations of light and shadow characteristic of late 19th-century European realism.
