About the piece
Painted in 1894 by Vojtěch Hynais, this portrait of Josef Hlávka exemplifies the refined realism of the late 19th century. The artist masterfully captures the tactile quality of the sitter's velvet coat and the soft texture of his expansive beard against a muted, atmospheric background.
