Portret Karola Radziwiłła "Panie Kochanku", wojewody wileńskiego (1734-1790) (uproszczona kopia portretu wykonanego przez K. Aleksandrowicza)

The painter employs chiaroscuro, using strong contrasts between the illuminated figure and the surrounding darkness to model volume and give the portrait a three‑dimensional quality. The limited colour palette—rich reds, deep blues and gold accents—focuses attention on the sitter’s face and upper torso.

This piece is a simplified copy of an earlier portrait executed by K. Aleksandrowicz. While the original’s date is not specified, the copy preserves the visual conventions of late‑Baroque portraiture in the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth, serving as a later record of Radziwiłł’s likeness.

Portraits of high officials in the 18th century often highlighted rank through costume and accessories such as sashes, brooches and elaborate collars. The dark background aligns with contemporary practices that isolated the subject, reinforcing the individual’s prominence within the aristocratic hierarchy.
