About the piece
Painted in 1903 by artist Elemír Halász-Hradil, this evocative portrait titled 'Starec' (Old Man) showcases a masterful use of chiaroscuro. The subject's weathered features and magnificent white beard are illuminated from above, emerging from a deep, atmospheric background with a sense of quiet dignity and introspection.
