About the piece
Painted in 1848 by József Borsos, this striking oil portrait depicts a member of the Hungarian Home Guard. The subject stands with quiet authority, his hands resting on a saber, while the rich shadows and warm highlights emphasize the fine detail of his uniform and the tricolor armband of the Hungarian Revolution.
