Portrait of Gejza Bencúr. 1872

Gyula Benczúr's "Portrait of Gejza Bencúr," painted in 1872, depicts the subject in a formal setting, clad in a dark suit and white shirt with a bow tie. The subject holds a pair of spectacles in his right hand, perhaps a subtle gesture to his intellectual pursuits. The painting, executed in a realistic style, highlights the subject's features with a focus on his intense gaze and prominent beard. Benczúr's portraiture is known for its meticulous detail and masterful use of light and shadow, which lends a sense of depth and gravitas to the image.
