About the piece
Painted around 1830 by Amalija Oblak, this oil portrait captures the scholar Matija Čop with a thoughtful and resolute expression. The work is characterized by the striking contrast between the dark, atmospheric background and the warm tones of the sitter's skin and red attire, accented by a luxurious fur collar.
