About the piece

Painted in 1839 by Henri Lehmann, this celebrated portrait depicts the legendary composer and pianist Franz Liszt at age 28. Rendered with the dramatic intensity of the Romantic era, the work contrasts Liszt's luminous, focused features against a dark, architecturally subtle background, highlighting his intellectual and artistic stature.
