"Cardinal at Study" is an oil painting by Eduard von Grützner (1846–1925), a German painter known for his genre art, especially his humorous and finely detailed depictions of monks and cardinals. Grützner's works often portray these ecclesiastical figures in moments of leisure, enjoying the pleasures of food, wine, or, as in "Cardinal at Study," the intellectual pursuit of reading.

While the exact date of creation for "Cardinal at Study" is not well-documented, it is consistent with Grützner's style and thematic focus during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting features a solitary cardinal deeply engrossed in his studies, surrounded by an array of books and papers that suggest a scholarly endeavor. The cardinal's rich red robes and the luxurious furnishings of the room reflect both his high status within the Church and the opulence often associated with the clergy in popular imagination.

Eduard von Grützner's meticulous attention to detail, from the textures of the fabrics to the play of light on the cardinal's face, is evident in this work. The painting's composition and the use of color not only highlight the central figure but also create a sense of warmth and intimacy, inviting the viewer into the private world of the cardinal.

"Cardinal at Study" exemplifies Grützner's skill in blending realism with a touch of humor and irony, as the cardinal's humanizing portrayal contrasts with the more solemn and spiritual roles typically expected of such a high-ranking church official. This painting, like many of Grützner's works, remains popular among collectors and enthusiasts of genre painting for its characterful representation of monastic life and its fine artistic execution.
