Portrait of Tadeusz Boy-żeleński 1907

Leon Wyczółkowski's 1907 portrait of Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński, a Polish writer and critic, exemplifies the artist's mastery of realist portraiture. The painting captures the subject's pensive expression, emphasized by his hand resting on his forehead, and showcases Wyczółkowski's attention to detail in rendering the sitter's features, clothing, and the subtle textures of the background. The artist's signature, visible in the upper right corner, confirms the authenticity of this striking portrait.
