Lady in Violet
by SZINYEI MERSE, Pál, Oil on canvas, 103 x 77 cm
The portrait shows the young wife of the artist. Significant as it may be in Szinyei’s oevre, it means a step back in comparison with “Picnic in May”. The female figure with the landscape in the background is not in harmony with it. The picture was painted in the artist’s studio. It is interesting to note that his wife devorced Szinyei in 1887 and died at the age of 101.
