Portrait of Celina Sarowa is a 1917 oil by Józef Mehoffer, a Art Nouveau work, held at National Museum in Kraków.

The background features a vibrant tapestry with an intricate pattern of flowers and leaves. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The brooch on her dress adds a touch of sophistication, while the choker around her neck provides a subtle contrast to the more ornate details in the background.
