Dwernicki at the Head of the 2nd Uhlan Regiment is a 1837 oil by Piotr Michałowski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a cavalry scene with a large group of horsemen in the foreground. The horses are white and brown, and the riders are dressed in military uniforms. The background is a cloudy sky with a reddish hue. In the center of the painting, a man on a white horse stands out, possibly the leader of the group. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Piotr Michałowski, a Polish artist known for his military scenes.
Piotr Michałowski (July 2, 1800 – June 9, 1855) was a Polish painter of the Romantic period, especially known for his many portraits, and oil studies of horses.
