About the piece
Attributed to the circle of Hyacinthe Rigaud, this 1696 portrait depicts Konstanty Władysław Sobieski with the dignity and flair characteristic of the French Baroque style. The work showcases masterful technique in the rendering of contrasting textures, from the metallic sheen of the polished armor to the delicate lace of the cravat and the soft, voluminous curls of the powdered wig.
