Study of Unhappy Man 1880 - 1900

"Study of Unhappy Man" is an oil painting by Hungarian artist Ladislav Mednyánszky, created sometime between 1880 and 1900. The painting depicts a man, likely a peasant, with a melancholic expression, conveying the hardships of the working class in the late 19th century. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, characteristic of Mednyánszky's style, which embraced Realism and sought to capture the essence of everyday life, often focusing on themes of poverty and suffering.
