About the piece
Painted by Henri-François Riesener around 1815, this portrait depicts Zygmunt Krasiński as a child. Dressed in elaborate Polish costume and holding his father’s sword, the subject stands before a classical pillar overlooking an expansive landscape. Riesener’s masterful technique is evident in the detailed rendering of velvet, lace, and polished metal textures.
