About the piece
Painted around 1900 by Slovak artist Milan Thomka Mitrovský, this portrait captures his mother with a soulful, downward gaze. The use of oil on cardboard allows for a rich, textured surface that emphasizes the play of light across her features, set against a warm, atmospheric background of deep reds and browns.
