Focus on this artwork and explain the Mistaken identity.
In the literature, due to the fact that the name of portrayed Aleksander Wielopolski (grandson) was the same as his grandfather's, there is often the wrong suggestion that the image presented his grandfather. In fact, Jacek Malczewski could not portray his grandfather, because he died in 1877 and the picture was painted in 1903. In addition, the portrayed person does not resemble Alexander Wielopolski.
