About the piece
Painted by Hungarian master Mihály Munkácsy in 1888, this piece captures a subtle romantic exchange known as 'Flirtation.' A woman pauses her needlework at an embroidery frame to look up at a man leaning toward her, both dressed in historicizing costumes that evoke a sense of timeless elegance. The warm, dark palette and masterly handling of light create a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere typical of high-period academic realism.
