Lajos Kolozsváry (1871-1937), Attributed to - Man met glas

Characterful oil painting, attributed to the Hungarian-Austrian painter Lajos Kolozsváry (Pest, 1871–1937). Kolozsváry studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he was taught by, among others, Christian Griepenkerl and August Eisenmenger. From 1891 he exhibited at the Műcsarnok (Kunsthalle) in Budapest. He became best known for lively genre scenes and character studies: old men, scholars, clergymen and other figures, frequently depicted in historical costumes and interiors. This small, finely painted work fits well with that oeuvre. It shows an older man in historizing, presumably 17th-century clothing, with a wide white collar, a feathered hat and a tall glass in his hand. The face is expressively worked, with loose, visible brushwork, while the red and blue-green clothing sharply contrasts with the dark background. - Artist: attributed to Lajos Kolozsváry (1871–1937) - Nationality: Hungarian / Austro-Hungarian - Title: Man with glass in historical costume (descriptive title) - Dating: probably early third of the 20th century, ca. 1900–1930 - Medium: oil on panel/artist’s board - Dimensions without frame: 20 × 15.5 cm - Dimensions with frame: 28.5 × 23 cm - Signature: signed ‘Kolozsvary’ bottom right in dark paint - Provenance: private collection; further provenance unknown - Documentation: no certificate or additional documentation available - Condition: given its age, in good state.
