About the piece

Painted in 1875 by Périclès Pantazis, this striking oil study titled 'Sulking' explores psychological depth through the contrasting gazes of its two subjects. The work is characterized by its rich, dark palette and masterful handling of light and shadow, typical of the Greek-born artist's refined European style.
