Tytus Maleszewski is a Realism artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum in Warsaw.

This Polish painter had a habit of painting people who were usually left out of grand portraits. He once locked himself in his studio for days just to finish a single face, no fancy poses, just straight-up staring. Try looking up his Portrait of a man in handcuffs, it’s not what you’d expect from a 19th-century artist, and that’s exactly why it sticks.
