Portrait Study (Stanisław Dębicki – Artist, Painter) is a 1914 oil by Jacek Malczewski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting is a portrait study of a man, possibly Stanisław Dębicki, an artist and painter. The subject is depicted in a relaxed pose, with his head turned slightly to the right. He has a mustache and is wearing a light-colored shirt. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the subject's light-colored clothing. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The artist, Jacek Malczewski, used oil paint to create this portrait study in 1914.
