Portrait of a man 1918

Jozef Hanula's 1918 "Portrait of a Man" is a traditional realist painting depicting a man in formal attire, likely a distinguished figure of the time. The subject, who appears to be wearing a suit and bowtie, is framed within an oval portrait that is set against a backdrop of green drapery. The painting showcases Hanula's skill in capturing the subject's likeness and the details of his clothing, a common characteristic of his portraiture works. The name "TOESCHER" at the bottom suggests that the portrait was commissioned and likely intended as a commemorative piece.
