About the piece

Created around 1909 by László Mednyánszky, this oil on panel study captures a standing man in profile. The work is characterized by its heavy impasto and a rich, earthy palette of sienna and deep blues, reflecting the artist's mastery of atmosphere and texture. It serves as a compelling example of early 20th-century European character studies.
