About the piece

Painted in 1856 by Slovak artist Peter Michal Bohúň, this formal portrait depicts Ján Hodža with remarkable dignity. The artist captures the fine details of his sitter's character alongside the tactile qualities of his fur-lined blue coat and decorative frogging, set against a warm, atmospheric background typical of 19th-century realism.
