About the piece
This 1859 oil painting by Peter Michal Bohúň depicts Johana Zmeškalová in a formal, seated pose. The artist captures the sophisticated textures of her attire, from the heavy, lustrous fabric of her gown to the intricate, tiered lace of her sleeves, while her calm expression and the small book in her hand suggest a person of refinement and intellect.
