About the piece
Painted in 1848, this oil-on-canvas work by Slovak artist Peter Michal Bohúň captures Orava nobles during their imprisonment. The scene is rendered with the restrained realism characteristic of the mid-19th century, focusing on the quiet interactions and contemplative moods of those held within the stark prison interior.
