About the piece

Created in 1860 by Slovak artist Peter Michal Bohúň, this oil portrait captures a moment of quiet, focused industry. The subject, Mrs. Kubíniová, is rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting the delicate lace of her collar and the rhythmic movement of her knitting needles against a deep, atmospheric background.
