About the piece
Painted in 1919, this expressive work by Roman Kramsztyk captures poet Jan Lechoń with the bold brushwork and sophisticated tonal range of early 20th-century European modernism. The composition thoughtfully balances the scholarly focus of the sitter with a vibrant still life of playing cards and a decorative ceramic vessel in the foreground.
