About the piece
Created in 1892 by artist Max Bohm, this portrait of 'Mr. C.' is a masterful study of light and mood. The subject is caught in a moment of quiet reflection, his features softly illuminated against a rich, dark background that highlights the confident brushwork of his garment and cap. The piece exemplifies the tonalist influence of the era, making it a sophisticated addition to any traditional collection.
