Portrait of Lorinc Szabo 1923

"Portrait of Lorinc Szabo" (1923) is a pastel portrait by Hungarian artist Jozsef Rippl-Ronai. The painting is a close-up of the subject, a young man with dark hair wearing a blue coat, looking off to the side. The soft, hazy atmosphere of the pastel medium emphasizes the melancholic mood and subtle beauty of the portrait, which is characteristic of Rippl-Ronai’s later work. The artist is known for his expressive use of color and bold brushstrokes in portraits that capture the essence of his subjects.
