About the piece

Created in 1895 by artist Eduard Putra, this oil study showcases a masterful use of impasto and a muted, atmospheric palette. The young man's profile is rendered with confident strokes that prioritize character and form over fine detail, offering a sophisticated European aesthetic suitable for scholarly or gallery-inspired interiors.
