About the piece
Painted around 1880, Aleksander Gierymski’s masterpiece captures an elderly merchant in Warsaw. The striking contrast between the vibrant, sun-drenched oranges and the cool, atmospheric gray of the city backdrop highlights Gierymski's command of light and his dedication to social realism.
