About the piece

Painted in 1844 by Jozef Božetech Klemens, this portrait captures Mária Szmrecsányi with exceptional clarity and poise. The composition is defined by the vibrant juxtaposition of her teal silk dress and a heavy red wrap, set against a soft interior that opens to a delicate landscape view in the lower left.
