Jaśko of Tęczyn's Garment. Study to the Painting "The Oath of Queen Jadwiga" is a 1855 oil by Józef Simmler, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a man in a blue robe with a yellow sleeve, holding a brown book. He stands against a dark background, with his feet partially visible at the bottom of the canvas. A notable detail is the use of chiaroscuro, with the man's face and hands illuminated against the dark backdrop. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. This work is reminiscent of the style of Józef Simmler, an artist known for his portraits and historical scenes.
