About the piece

Painted in 1819 by Józef Oleszkiewicz, this formal portrait captures Władysław Branicki in the highly decorative uniform of a high-ranking officer. The work is a masterclass in texture, from the shimmering gold embroidery and silk tassels to the soft rendering of the sitter's features against a moody, atmospheric background of dark drapery and a twilight sky.
