About the Item

Piotr Topolski, born in Kielce, Poland, in 1960, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. He specializes in creating compelling oil portraits, often drawing inspiration from the style of the Old Masters. Topolski’s approach is characterized by meticulous observation and a sensitive treatment of light and colour. His subjects—frequently public figures or thoughtful character studies—are imbued with a striking psychological presence. Working principally in oil on canvas, his work combines classical technique with contemporary clarity. His portraits have earned him exhibitions across galleries in Europe and private commissions internationally This portrait by Piotr Topolski presents a dignified elderly man with a full beard, depicted against a neutral, shadowed backdrop that emphasizes the sitter’s features and inner depth. The composition recalls the sober realism of traditional European portraiture, yet with a fresh immediacy. Topolski captures the sitter’s textured skin, the thoughtful gaze, and the weight of age with precise, layered brushwork and a refined tonal palette. Light is used sparingly but intentionally—gently highlighting the forehead, nose, and beard while allowing softer transitions into shadow. The subject’s expression is pensive and quietly resolved, a testament to the artist’s ability to convey personality and gravitas without extravagance. The painting blends classical formality with contemporary sensibility, resulting in a work that feels timeless and psychologically astute—a signature of Topolski’s portraits. It is signed at the bottom right The sizes are 41.5 x 31 cm
