Description
A count holds a drinking horn (kantzi) in a formal pose.
Cultural Note
Pirosmani’s portraits often depict figures facing the viewer directly and standing outside detailed settings. Scholars compare the frontal and steady gaze to Georgian icon and memorial traditions - offering additional evidence of his self-taught background.
