About the piece
Painted in 1843 by Eduard Wirostek, this oil on panel depicts J. Stróbl with a striking gaze and meticulously rendered attire. The composition is notably set against a backdrop featuring a distant building with a smoking chimney, capturing a moment where classical portraiture meets the early industrial landscape of Central Europe.
