Great artists of the day offered and dedicated their works to Paderewski. In 1930, artists associated with the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts [Zachęta] presented Paderewski with a collection of their drawings and prints.One of the works in the Zachęta Portfolio, which directly references the recipient, is a watercolour by Feliks Szewczyk showing a carriage transporting the Head of State Józef Piłsudski, and Prime Minister Ignacy Jan Paderewski surrounded by an honorary squadron of the First Chevau-Légers Regiment at Castle Square. The men are en-route to a special service at the cathedral in Warsaw, on the eve of the inaugural session of the Sejm in the newly-restored Poland.
