About the piece

Created in 1854 by Miklós Barabás, this oil painting captures the authoritative presence of a military officer. The subject is depicted with meticulous detail, from the intricate gold embroidery on his cuffs to the subtle sheen of his dark uniform, set against a background of muted architectural elements and a vibrant red chair.
