About the piece
Painted in 1879 by Slovak artist Peter Michal Bohúň, this formal portrait depicts Samuel Daniel Benjač. The work demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing textural detail, from the soft sheen of the fur collar to the realistic modeling of the sitter's features and hands, characteristic of late 19th-century academic realism.
