About the piece

Painted in 1914 by Milan Thomka Mitrovský, this expressive oil study captures the artist's father with remarkable sensitivity. The light catches the texture of the white hair and the planes of the face, set against a warm, grounding ochre background that emphasizes the subject's dignified and thoughtful presence.
