About the piece
Painted in 1869, Wilhelm Leibl's portrait of fellow painter Pál Szinyei Merse is a masterpiece of the Munich School's realist style. The work captures the sitter with an immediate, almost modern energy, using loose, expressive brushstrokes and a deep, atmospheric palette to create a powerful sense of presence and character.
