About the piece
This 1853 oil portrait by Slovak artist Peter Michal Bohúň depicts Samuel Ballo with a calm and dignified expression. Rendered with the meticulous detail characteristic of mid-19th century realism, the work skillfully captures the textures of the sitter's silk cravat and the polished wood of his armchair against a neutral, atmospheric background.
