Portrait of Eustachy Wąsowicz is a 1837 oil by Piotr Michałowski, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair and a mustache, wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt and a dark tie. His arms are crossed, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking right through you. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich, textured look. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
