About the piece
Painted in 1846 by Jozef Božetech Klemens, this portrait depicts Antal Roch in an elaborate Hungarian-style dolman jacket. The work is characterized by its meticulous attention to texture, from the soft sheen of the fur lining to the cold, polished steel of the saber hilt. The somber, neutral background ensures the ornate red and gold regalia commands full attention, making it a striking piece of historical portraiture.
