About the piece

This 1849 oil painting by Peter Michal Bohúň depicts Móric Zmeškal in a classic formal pose. Dressed in a dark coat, vest, and bow tie, the subject leans thoughtfully against a side table, his expression defined by a prominent mustache and a calm, steady gaze typical of European academic portraiture.
