About the piece
Created in 1890 by Milan Thomka Mitrovský, this self-portrait captures the artist in a sharp profile, wearing a wide-brimmed black hat and a high-collared shirt. The work, executed in oil on cardboard, demonstrates a masterful handling of light and texture, creating a contemplative and dignified presence characteristic of late Victorian European portraiture.
