About the piece
Painted in 1902 by Emil Pacovský, this oil on panel portrait features a young girl from the village of Dačolom. The work captures the rich detail of traditional folk dress, with a vibrant red headband providing a striking contrast to the soft, atmospheric blue background. It is a masterful example of early 20th-century regional portraiture.
