He is dressed in a dark suit with a waistcoat. His slender face, framed by longer hair, his slightly tousled beard, and above all his gaze \u2013 focused and piercingly directed straight ahead, towards the viewer \u2013 catch the eye. The dark figure emerges from a light background, the only feature of which is a blurred section of the balustrade. This cabinet-format photograph was taken at Juliusz Mien&#8217;s studio in Krak\u00f3w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"691\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"38355\" src=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-wsparty-o-balustrade-691x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sepiowe, ca\u0142opostaciowe zdj\u0119cie portretowe m\u0119\u017cczyzny o d\u0142ugich w\u0142osach, w\u0105sach i bujnej, d\u0142ugiej brodzie, stoj\u0105cego p\u00f3\u0142profilowo w ciemnym tr\u00f3jcz\u0142onowym garniturze z kamizelk\u0105 i zapinanym \u017cakietem, opieraj\u0105cego praw\u0105 r\u0119k\u0119 o kamienn\u0105 balustrad\u0119 na jasnym, pustym tle; dolna cz\u0119\u015b\u0107 fotografii ma kartonow\u0105 opraw\u0119 z z\u0142otym napisem i ornamentem, a w g\u00f3rnym lewym rogu widoczny jest odr\u0119czny numer.\" class=\"wp-image-38355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-wsparty-o-balustrade-691x1024.jpg 691w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-wsparty-o-balustrade-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-wsparty-o-balustrade-768x1137.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-wsparty-o-balustrade-1920x2843.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mnk.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jan-Matejko-wsparty-o-balustrade-scaled.jpg 1729w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to explore the entry for this item in the digital catalogue of the National Museum in Krak\u00f3w\u2019s collections.
