František Tichý (1896 - 1961) PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG MAN

František Tichý’s psychological portraits are among the most sought-after subjects among collectors. The paint is applied in subdued tones with relatively broad brushstrokes, and the subject’s current expression is carefully rendered through contrasting areas of color. At the time this portrait was created, František Tichý was likely teaching at UMPRUM in Prague. National Gallery label on the reverse.
