Highlander from Zakopane is a 1871 watercolor by Juliusz Kossak, depicting Male, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a man dressed in traditional clothing, standing upright. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a colorful vest over a dark shirt, and loose-fitting pants with a blue pattern. A cape is draped over his shoulders, and he holds a walking stick in his right hand. The man's attire suggests he is from a specific cultural background, possibly Polish. The artist's use of watercolor paint creates a soft, dreamy quality to the image.
