About the piece
Dating to approximately 1835, this oil portrait by a painter from Prešov depicts a lady from the Stankay family. The subject is shown with the intricate, tightly coiled hairstyle characteristic of the era, her dark dress providing a bold contrast to the draped green curtain and the soft landscape visible through a window behind her.
