About the piece

Created around 1790 by the Austrian artist Josef Grassi, this striking oil portrait depicts Prince Józef Poniatowski in a moment of quiet dignity. The work utilizes a rich, dark palette and soft-focus technique to emphasize the sitter's expressive features, making it a quintessential example of European late-Enlightenment portraiture.
