Portrait of Aleksander Stankiewicz, painter c. 1890s

This portrait of Aleksander Stankiewicz, a painter, was painted by Henryk Siemiradzki in the 1890s. The painting captures Stankiewicz's likeness with a focus on his face and beard. Siemiradzki's use of oil paints and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of realism and depth in the painting. The dark clothing of the subject contrasts with the warm red background, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face. The artwork's style and subject matter, reflecting Siemiradzki's interest in portraiture and realism, is characteristic of the late 19th-century artistic movement in Poland.
