About the piece
Created in 1860 by Peter Michal Bohúň, this formal portrait captures the quiet dignity of Mrs. Vavrečanová. The composition highlights the contrast between her dark, structured dress and the luminous, delicate lace of her bonnet, accented by soft pink silk ribbons. It is a masterful example of mid-19th-century European portraiture that brings a sense of history and grace to any space.
