About the piece
This 1786 oil portrait by Konstanty Aleksandrowicz captures Stanisław August Poniatowski, the last King of Poland, in full royal regalia. Dressed in a dark uniform with gold epaulettes and a vibrant blue Order of the White Eagle sash, the monarch is draped in a rich red ermine-trimmed mantle, evoking the grandeur of the Polish Enlightenment.
