Portrait of Michael Avg. Averoff, c.1880


It is with greater brilliance of colour that Doukas renders the Portrait of Michael A. Averoff (1840 - 1899), Member of Parliament for Evvia for many years and husband of Amalia Landerer-Averoff. The work is marked by the efforts which the artist has made to analyse the inner mood of the subject and to capture those features which lend him his individual characteristics.
