About the piece

Painted in 1737 by Jean Girardet, this masterfully rendered portrait depicts Stanislaus Leszczyński, the former King of Poland, as a figure of royal and military authority. The composition highlights a sophisticated interplay of textures, contrasting the cold brilliance of the sitter's polished steel armor with the soft, voluminous powdered wig and the rich ermine lining of his mantle.
