Portrait of General Henryk Dembiński is a 1852 oil by Henryk Rodakowski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a man sitting on a red cloth, with a fur coat draped over his shoulders. He wears a dark jacket with gold accents on the cuffs, paired with dark pants and black shoes. His right hand rests on the hilt of a sword, while his left hand is raised to his chin, supporting his head. The man's attire and the sword suggest that he is a military figure. The background of the painting is dark, with a glimpse of a landscape visible to the right of the subject. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting.
