This charcoal drawing, created by Polish artist Jan Matejko (1838-1893), depicts Henryk Brodaty. The work showcases Matejko’s mastery of portraiture, capturing the subject’s stern expression and the intricate details of his attire, including a richly embroidered cloak, a belt, and a rosary. The use of charcoal lends a dramatic, almost melancholic quality to the image, emphasizing the historical significance of the subject.
