About the piece
Created around 1880 by Slovak artist Ľudovít Pitthordt, this oil study showcases a masterful use of light and color on a cardboard support. The loose, confident brushstrokes and warm tonal palette give the portrait a modern, expressive feel while maintaining an air of classical elegance and psychological depth.
