About the piece
This 1915 oil on cardboard study by Ľudovít Pitthordt is a refined exploration of light and character. With a palette of deep ambers and earthy browns, Pitthordt captures the subject in a moment of quiet introspection, demonstrating the sensitive brushwork typical of early 20th-century European realism.
