Male Portrait c. 1905

Olga Boznanska's "Male Portrait" from around 1905 captures a man in a contemplative pose. The painting, executed in a loose and expressive style, showcases Boznanska's mastery of capturing subtle emotions and psychological depth. The sitter's gaze, partially obscured by his hand, adds to the sense of introspection, while the muted palette and loose brushstrokes create a sense of intimacy and realism. This work exemplifies Boznanska's transition from a more traditional approach to portraiture toward a more modern style, influenced by Impressionism and Symbolism.
