Portrait of Feliks Jasieński Dressed as a Bedouin is a 1908 oil by Leon Wyczółkowski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a man dressed in a long, flowing robe with a hood, standing in profile. He wears a black hat and has a black bag slung over his shoulder. The background is a muted gray-brown color. The man's face is partially obscured by the hood, but his dark beard and mustache are visible. His robe is a warm, earthy tone, with a subtle sheen to the fabric. The overall effect is one of quiet dignity and introspection.
