Portrait of Marcin Kalinowski is a 1806 oil by Kazimierz Wojniakowski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This portrait depicts a man with dark hair and a mustache, wearing a green jacket over a white shirt and a black vest. A brooch adorns his vest, featuring a red gemstone surrounded by smaller blue and gold stones. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's attire suggests he may be from a specific cultural or national background, but without more information, it's difficult to say for certain. The artist's use of color and composition draws the viewer's attention to the subject's face and upper body. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków, where you can learn more about the artist Kazimierz Wojniakowski and his work.
Kazimierz Wojniakowski (1771/72 – 1812) was a Polish painter, illustrator, and Freemason, known primarily for his portraits in the sentimentalist style.
