About the piece
Painted in 1848 by the Slovak artist Peter Michal Bohúň, this formal oil portrait depicts Terézia Droppová. The subject is presented with a serene, dignified expression, her dark hair neatly styled to frame her face. Her attire—a rich dark gown with a delicate lace collar and textured fringe—showcases the artist's masterful ability to render different fabrics and fine details, making it a quintessential example of mid-19th-century European portraiture.
