About the piece
Painted in 1822 by Aleksander Kokular, this portrait captures Seweryn Madan, an officer of the guard cavalry staff. The work is a masterful example of European portraiture, highlighting the intricate silver braids, metallic epaulettes, and regalia of the military uniform against a dark, atmospheric background.
