About the piece
This 1790 oil portrait depicts Tadeusz Kościuszko, a hero of both the American Revolution and Polish history. Clad in detailed plate armor and a ceremonial blue sash, he is shown with a noble and determined expression, capturing the martial elegance of the Enlightenment era through sophisticated lighting and metallic textures.
