About the piece
Created in 1885, this oil on canvas study by László Mednyánszky (Ladislav Mednyánszky) exemplifies the artist's skill in psychological portraiture. The young man, dressed in a peaked cap and a white high-collared garment, is rendered with sensitive tonal variations in the skin and hair, while the clothing and background remain in a bold, unfinished state that focuses attention on the sitter's thoughtful expression.
