About the piece

This 1840 oil portrait by an anonymous Eastern Slovak painter depicts a young man from the town of Levoča. The work is notable for its meticulous rendering of the sitter's traditional braided jacket and the soft, luminous skin tones that contrast sharply with the dark, atmospheric background.
