About the piece
Painted in 1867 by Slovak artist Peter Michal Bohúň, this formal portrait captures a seated woman with quiet dignity. She is dressed in a somber black gown accented by a delicate white lace cap and collar, her hands resting near an intricately carved desk. The work exemplifies Central European portraiture of the mid-19th century, showcasing realistic textures and a restrained, grounding color palette.
