About the piece
Painted in 1875 by Peter Michal Bohúň, this formal oil portrait captures Pavlína Mešková with dignified grace. The artist demonstrates sophisticated skill in the luminous rendering of her skin tones and the tactile quality of her shimmering silk dress, accented by delicate sheer lace and heavy gold ornamentation.
