The adult Vladislovas Tiškevičius — a profile portrait to the chest, taken at L. Kowalski's photo studio in Warsaw (20 Mazowiecka Street) in the late 19th century, printed by Paul Leinert's press in Dresden. The photograph is held at the Kretinga Museum (inv. no. KM IF 6891). This is the same man we see as a fifteen-year-old cadet in exhibit No. 38 — now grown, with the long, upward-curled moustache that became his signature.
Vladislovas Tiškevičius (1865–1936) was a lawyer, a dentist, chairman of the Warsaw branch of the Society for the Promotion of Industry and Trade, a public figure and a collector. Having inherited the Lentvaris estate, in 1899 he rebuilt the palace (architects de Vego and T. Rostvorovskis) and laid out a landscape park designed by É. F. André; in Lentvaris he founded a kindergarten and supported the construction of the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1897–1926). For publicly speaking out against autocracy, he was exiled abroad in 1905 — he lived in Italy and opened an antiques shop in Milan; amnestied in 1906, he returned to Lithuania and was elected a delegate to the Russian State Duma. In 1907 he founded the Vilnius Museum of Science and Art, donating to it his collection of Western European paintings. He is buried in the Lentvaris church.
The animation here is restrained, much like in exhibit No. 38 — no sudden movement, no drama: the profile's features stir almost imperceptibly to life, as though the count shifted briefly while posing for the photographer, then settled still again.
