About the piece
Painted in 1858 by Lajos Nyulassy, this delicate watercolor portrait offers a window into mid-19th-century European fashion and social standing. The subject is rendered with fine detail, from the intricate patterns of his waistcoat to the dignified set of his features, all against a softly graded background that gives the piece a timeless, scholarly quality.
