About the piece
Painted in 1825 by Alexander Molinari, this dignified portrait captures Karol Kurpiński seated at a piano with a quill and inkstand nearby. A small dog rests at his feet on a lush floral carpet, while heavy crimson drapery adds a sense of theatrical presence to the scholarly, intimate scene.
