The author presents the outline of the court career of Mateusz Tokarski, one of the prominent artists of Stanislaus Augustus. The story of his gradual promotion is told: from a modest stranger from the provinces admitted to study at the Proto-Academy (called the Malarnia) in Warsaw, up to becoming the Gallery Inspector of Stanislaus Augustus’ paintings; it can serve as a model court career, from the very beginning up to the end of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth related to the King.
