Kozakiewicz Zyd - Public domain portrait painting

Antoni Kozakiewicz (1841–1929) was a Polish genre painter in the Realist style. He began his studies in 1857 at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts under Władysław Łuszczkiewicz, among others, graduating in 1866. It took him some extra time to complete his courses because, in 1863, he was a participant in the January Uprising, during which he was captured by Russian troops and imprisoned until the insurgency was over.
