Portrait of a man

Portrait of a man from Tadeusz Łukaszewicz Munich period shows his great skill. It is hard to say whether the sitter was one of his patrons, or whether it was commissioned. It is an intimate image, typical of the style of portrait painting in which most attention is paid to the individuality of the sitter instead of showing his social position. But the man depicted was obviously educated and well-off: his clothes are elegant and his posture is relaxed, but he gazes out at the viewer with a concentrated and attentive look. He may have been a Munich intellectual.
