About the piece
Created by Ferdinand Hodler in 1879, this oil painting captures a pastor in a moment of quiet dignity. The artist employs a rich, tonal palette to define the sitter's weathered features and luminous beard, contrasted against the deep, heavy black of his robes in a style that bridges realism and early symbolism.
