Allegorical Portrait of Stanisław August Poniatowski with an Hourglass is a 1781 oil by Marcello Bacciarelli, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting features a man sitting at a table, with an hourglass in front of him. He is dressed in 18th-century attire, including a blue coat and white shirt. The hourglass is the central focus of the composition. The man's gaze is directed upwards, and his right hand rests on the hourglass. The background of the painting is muted, with earthy tones that complement the subject's clothing. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of contemplation and introspection.
