Portrait of General Stanisław Potocki

From the collection of National Museum in Kraków
Portrait marshal
This painting shows a man in a dark blue military uniform, decorated with medals and silver braiding. He has a serious expression and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a muted, brownish color. The man's uniform is adorned with several large medals and a red sash, indicating his high rank. His hair is pulled back, and he has a stern expression on his face. This portrait is reminiscent of the work of artists who use chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume in a painting.
