Bust of Michał Walczak-Gąsienica, Highlander is a 1865 oil by Andrzej Grabowski, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This portrait depicts a man with long, wavy brown hair and a mustache, wearing a brown hat adorned with white beads and a white shirt with a brown vest. The background is a dark brown color. The subject's attire and hairstyle suggest a specific cultural or ethnic identity, which is reinforced by the title of the painting. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The painting is reminiscent of works by artists who used chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in depicted objects.
Andrzej Grabowski (1833–1886) was an artist, born in Zwierzyniec.
