Kazimierz Teofil Pochwalski (25 December 1855 – 7 November 1940) was a Polish painter known primarily for his portraits, although he produced works in a wide variety of genres.

Pochwalski was born in Kraków on 25 December 1855 and came from a family that produced several generations of painters and his younger brother Władysław also became a well-known artist.

This was followed by studies in Vienna and Paris, where he was influenced by the work of Léon Bonnat.

[2][3] He served as Director of the Kraków Society of Friends of Fine Arts and traveled extensively, visiting Greece, Italy, Turkey and Egypt.
