The artwork, named “Lukasz Dobrzanski,” was created by the artist Jan Matejko. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork depicts an elderly man with a full, white beard and balding head. The detail in the facial features, particularly the expression in the eyes, conveys a sense of depth and wisdom. The man is dressed in formal attire, including a dark coat and white shirt, enhanced with a bow tie. A distinguished medal with ribbons is affixed to his coat, signifying honor or achievement. The background of the portrait is understated, focusing the viewer’s attention on the subject. The use of lighting highlights the contours of the man’s face, further emphasizing his dignified presence.
