Coffin Portrait of an Unidentified Polish Armenian Man
The comparison between the illustrative materials and the report from the 1932 Lwów (Lviv) exhibition of Polish Armenian art that was published in the Paris magazine Անահիտ made it possible to confirm that one of the several coffin portraits held in the collections of the Jagiellonian University Museum in Krakow is an 17th century portrait of an unidentified Armenian man. The portrait was most probably intended for the Archdiocesan Armenian Museum in Lwów (Lviv), but the outbreak of the Second World War interrupted the plans to establish this institution.
