About the piece
Painted in 1760 by Jan Kołtonowski, this formal portrait captures Tekla Kościuszko in a moment of quiet dignity. The work is notable for its intricate rendering of period fashion, from the towering lace-trimmed bonnet with its vibrant pink ribbon to the delicate ruffles of her gown, all set against a rich, dark background that emphasizes the subject and her small companion.
