About the piece
This 1831 oil painting captures Szymanowski, a lieutenant of the Płock cavalry regiment, in striking military attire. The unknown Polish artist meticulously rendered the details of the uniform, including the silver epaulettes, ammunition pouches, and the hilt of his saber, set against a neutral, atmospheric background that emphasizes the sitter's dignified presence.
