Portrait of Józef Sedelmajer is a 1822 oil by Józef Brodowski the Elder, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This portrait shows a man with dark hair and a white cravat, dressed in a black coat. The background is a dark brown color. The man's face is the main focus of the painting, with his eyes looking directly at the viewer. His expression is neutral, and his features are well-defined. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the painting.
Józef Brodowski, (c.1775/81 – 1853) was a Polish painter in the Classical style. He is called The Elder to distinguish him from Józef Brodowski (1828–1900), who was apparently not related.
