About the piece
Painted in 1901 by Dominik Skutecký, this masterful oil portrait depicts Ján Slivka in formal attire. The subject is presented with a steady, confident gaze against an atmospheric deep red backdrop, accompanied by the classic markers of a gentleman: a top hat and leather gloves resting on a draped table.
