About the piece
This 1790 portrait by Marcello Bacciarelli depicts Stanislaus II Augustus, the last King of Poland. The work is characterized by a luminous, soft treatment of the sitter's features and the vibrant contrast of the Order of the White Eagle sash, reflecting the refined courtly aesthetic of the Enlightenment era.
