About the piece
This 1918 self-portrait by Stanisław Janowski presents a compelling intersection of his identities as both soldier and artist. Captured during his service in the Polish Legions, Janowski depicts himself in a sharp military uniform against the rustic, timber-lined walls of a trench interior, with an artist’s easel standing as a silent companion in the background.
