About the piece
This 19th-century oil painting is a masterful copy after a self-portrait by the renowned Baroque artist Jan Kupecký. The subject is depicted with remarkable character, wearing distinctive round spectacles and an eclectic ensemble including a striped sash and a vibrant green scarf, set against a dark, moody background that emphasizes his features and the quiet presence of a chessboard to his side.
