About the piece
Painted in 1853 by Peter Michal Bohúň, this formal oil portrait depicts the artist's wife, Žofia. The work is a masterclass in texture, from the heavy, light-catching sheen of her black silk dress to the delicate, translucent petals of the floral arrangement beside her. The composition balances the dignified presence of the sitter with soft, grounding interior elements.
