Hussar on horseback

This work was exhibited in the Warsaw Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in 1907. The sculpted Hussar from the Jan Matejko House is identical to the original painted as a panneau by Leon Wyczółkowski. Artist Leon Wyczółkowski created a decorative panneau of *Knight among Flowers*, depicting a Hussar sitting on horseback and blowing the horn against the background of a flowery meadow. The Hussar on horseback dressed in armour with gilded wings and eagle feathers. The horse is covered with a red-and-gold shabrack (cavalry saddle), decorated with colourful glass imitating precious stones, and fitted with a decorative gold harness. **For more images and further information, visit:** https://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/objects-list/5 Inventory number: 3D MNK IX-4404 Localisation of the physical object: National Museum in Kraków, Poland **Digitalisation: Regional Digitalisation Lab, Małopolska Institute of Culture in Kraków, Poland; “Virtual Museums of Małopolska” Project**
