Franciszek Jasiewicz (1873 - 1930 Wilno) draughtsman, painter. From 1897 to 1903, he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under T. Axentowicz, F. Cynk, da J. Unierzyski, and L. Wyczółkowski. In 1899, he exhibited "Studium niewiasty" (Study of a Woman) at the Kraków Society of Friends of Fine Arts. He then settled in Vilnius. He drew portraits, including those of Father Maciejewicz, Father Piotrowicz, and Professor Stanisław Kościałkowski (pastel), landscapes, and buildings (two drawings depicting the Sapieha Gate in Antakalnis—they were in the Vilnius Tatra National Park and the Wróblewski Library in Vilnius, probably one of them from 1910, currently at the Museum of Lithuanian Art of the SSR Vilnius). He painted an oil painting of the Holy Family for the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Vilnius, as well as many oil studies of flowers.
