Portrait of Jan Zawiejski is a 1873 oil by Aleksander Kotsis, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair, wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt and a dark bow tie. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall mood of the painting is somber, with the dark colors dominating the scene. This painting showcases the artist's skill in using chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast in the image. You might want to look up the artist Aleksander Kotsis next.
