Portret van Narcyz Olizar after 1832

This lithograph, titled "Portret van Narcyz Olizar", was created by Émilien Desmaisons after 1832. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Narcyz Olizar, a Polish politician and writer, in a formal pose, his arms folded and his gaze directed to the left of the frame. The artist captures the sitter’s distinguished air through realistic details, such as his carefully styled hair and his crisp clothing. This portrayal offers a glimpse into the visual culture of 19th-century Europe, specifically the representation of prominent figures through portraiture.
