This portrait, "Ostafij Daszkiewicz," is a work by the Polish painter Jan Matejko. It portrays a real historical figure, Ostafij Daszkiewicz, a Cossack who fought in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Matejko, born in 1838 and known for his historical paintings, captures Daszkiewicz in a moment of stillness, his weathered face and steady gaze conveying a sense of strength and resilience. The focus on the subject's details like his fur hat and the intricate details of his firearm emphasizes the artist's interest in historical accuracy and the portrayal of authentic details.
