4. Wilhelm Schadow, The Portrait of Maria Potocka, ahout 1819, Warsaw, Muzeum Narodowe
ditional information it was painted by Wilhelm Schadow. If this really had been the case, this
would be bound to have happened before the artist left for Italy. But these earliest, youthful
works of the painter are almost unknown (one of the few is the portrait of Queen Louise in
a Shroud, painted in 1810), and therefore this attribution cannot be confirmed, the more so,
that the portrait itself is inaccessible. I personally doubt if it had been painted by Wilhelm
Schadow.
