Portrait of Antoni Ostrowski is a 1824 oil by Piotr Michałowski, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a man with curly hair, wearing a dark coat and a red scarf. He is shown from the chest up, with his arms crossed in front of him. The background is dark and muted, with a subtle landscape visible behind the subject. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the subject's face and clothing standing out against the darker background. This painting is a great example of the work of Piotr Michałowski, an artist known for his portraits and historical 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.
