About the piece
Painted in 1899, this self-portrait by Konštantín Kővári-Kačmarik captures the artist with a piercing gaze and meticulously rendered features. The contrast between the formal high collar, playful polka-dot bow tie, and soft white cap creates a compelling character study characteristic of Central European portraiture at the turn of the century, offering a sophisticated presence for any interior.
