About the piece
Created in 1904 by László Mednyánszky, this portrait captures a young officer with a direct and thoughtful gaze. The composition is defined by the bold contrast between the officer's dark uniform and the vivid red of his kepi, set against a muted, atmospheric background that emphasizes the subject's presence.
