"Portrait of King Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski with an Hourglass" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Italian-born Polish artist Marcello Bacciarelli. This portrait depicts the last King of Poland, Stanisław August Poniatowski, in a reflective pose accompanied by an hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time and perhaps the transience of power. The work is a notable example of Bacciarelli's portraiture, which often captured the Polish nobility and royalty of the time with a blend of realism and idealization.

Marcello Bacciarelli (1731–1818) was a prominent painter at the court of King Stanisław August and served as the director of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Warsaw. His artistic style was influenced by the Baroque and Rococo movements, and he was particularly renowned for his skill in depicting fabrics and textures, as well as his adeptness at capturing the likenesses and personalities of his sitters.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context. King Stanisław August Poniatowski (1732–1798) was a patron of the arts and a key figure in the Enlightenment in Poland. His reign saw the last years of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth before its partitions by neighboring powers. The inclusion of the hourglass in this portrait may reflect the king's awareness of the political turmoil of his time and the precarious future of his nation.

As a work of art, "Portrait of King Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski with an Hourglass" offers insight into the cultural and political milieu of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the late 18th century, as well as the artistic achievements of the period. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Marcello Bacciarelli and a valuable artifact of Polish history. The painting is housed in a collection that showcases the era's art and is studied by art historians interested in the period's portraiture and the representation of European monarchs.
