Study of an Oriental Shield is a 1869 oil by Stanisław Chlebowski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a circular, ornate shield with a gold and brown color scheme. The shield is adorned with various shapes and patterns, including flowers, leaves, and geometric designs. It appears to be made of metal, with a raised center and a flat edge. In the background, there are dark brushstrokes that suggest a sense of depth and texture. The overall effect is one of opulence and luxury, as if the shield is a prized possession or a symbol of status. For more information on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Stanisław Chlebowski.
