Painter, trained under his painter father Franciszek Teodor Ejsmond. Beginning in 1910, he exhibited his works at Warsaw's TZSP. In 1929, among unaffiliated artists at the General National Exhibition in Poznań, he exhibited two watercolor compositions: "Roses" and "Rhododendron." The artist served several times on the competition juries of the TZSP, where he held a number of positions from 1937. Immediately after the outbreak of war in September 1939, he left Warsaw for Lublin, taking away the Zachęta collection, including "The Battle of Grunwald" and "The Sermon of Skarga" by J. Matejko. He died during the bombing of Lublin. He was most fond of painting flowers, still lifes with hunting motifs and portraits. He created in pastel technique, used watercolor and oil paints.
