About the piece
Painted in 1861 by Franz von Lenbach, this oil study captures the weathered features of a peasant or fisherman with remarkable psychological depth. The artist's focus on texture—from the coarse fabric of the clothing to the lined skin and hands of the sitter—elevates this work from a simple document to a powerful and dignified human study.
