The Life and Art of Karl Witkowski

Born in Yazlovets, Ukraine, Karol Dominik Witkowski, known in the United States as Karl Witkowski, was a Polish-American painter. His early life included service in the Austrian Army, where he gained popularity by creating portraits of fellow soldiers and commanding officers.
