About the piece
Attributed to an unknown Slovak painter from the mid-18th century, this oil portrait depicts a nobleman in traditional military-inspired attire. The sitter wears a green mentieka richly adorned with gold braiding and fur trim, set against a dark, atmospheric background that emphasizes his status and direct gaze.
