About the piece
Painted in 1876 by Karl Gussow, this masterful realist work titled 'Old Man's Treasure' depicts a group of villagers gathered in a moment of communal joy. The artist's technical precision is evident in the luminous rendering of the vibrant red and yellow headscarves and the delicate lace of the women's traditional dress, all centered around the tiny, expressive kitten.
