The bust of Adam Dobrodzicki was created between 1926 and 1927. It shows a man in the prime of his life with his head directed to the left and down. He is wearing a blazer, a tie and a shirt. The sculpture is a thin plaster cast reinforced with oakum and coated with a brown patina in a redder shade. It is 67 cm tall, 60 cm wide and 23 cm deep.

The model was born on the 18th of April 1883 in Wadowice. He studied history at the Jagiellonian University and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. One of the exciting events that happened in his life was a fake marriage with a politically active socialist Wanda Krahelska. She took part in the assassination attempt on Georgi Skalon and thanks to the marriage she gained Austrian citizenship which came with the protection against Russian authorities. The couple got divorced in 1908 after Wanda got acquitted.

Adam Dobrodzicki, among all of his accomplishments, took part in Jan Matejko’s statue renovation. After graduating in Cracow he continued his studies in Paris and attended outdoor painting courses in Brittany. In 1912, he won a contest for a polychrome project for St’s. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Kamieniec Podolski. During the same year he joined the Rifleman's Association. In the beginning he served in II battalion of the Polish Legions’ 1st infantry regiment and later aided the 2nd company of 5th infantry regiment as well as the 7th infantry regiment. In 1917, he joined I Polish Legions Brigade’s staff where he was promoted to second-lieutenant. Furthermore, he was a lieutenant of Polish Military Organization General Headquarters’ diplomatic corps. In 1918, when he was already a major, he became an adjutant of Commander-in-Chief Józef Piłsudski.

In 1920, when he started working in Warsaw, he moved to Rufin Mrozowicz family’s Villa in Milanówek.

Since 1921, he had been working with Julius Osterwa. On 23rd of February 1922 he staged a play called “Ulica Dziwna” (English: Strange Street) by Kazimierz Andrzej Czyżykowski which he not only directed: he also designed its stage set. In 1929, he took the principal post of the National Wood Industry School in Zakopane.
