This dark painting reflects Else Meidner’s admiration for Rembrandt, combined with her knowledge of German Expressionism, apparent in the free brush work and the portrait’s strong, emotive impact. The work is undated but the sitter strongly resembles her artist husband Ludwig Meidner. The work was presented by Czech emigre art historian J. P. Hodin, a friend and supporter of both the Meidners.
