About the piece
Painted in 1857 by Slovak artist František Klimkovič, this self-portrait captures the artist with a sense of dignity and quiet intensity. Dressed in a dark green jacket with traditional fasteners, the subject is rendered with a mastery of chiaroscuro that highlights the character of his expression against a somber, textured backdrop.
