About the piece
Painted around 1850 by Franz Schrotzberg, this formal portrait depicts Zdzisław Zamoyski with a refined, scholarly air. Seated in an ornate chair and holding a small volume, the subject is rendered with luminous skin tones that contrast against the moody, dark background, characteristic of European high portraiture of the period.
