About the piece
Commissioned in 1918, this official portrait by Ambrose McEvoy depicts Sergeant Filip Konowal, a celebrated recipient of the Victoria Cross. McEvoy's characteristic style is on full display here, utilizing a fluid and almost ethereal oil technique that brings a quiet, contemplative intensity to the sitter’s gaze against a textured, neutral background.
