About the piece
This 1780 portrait depicts Ondrej Szirmay in formal attire typical of late 18th-century Central European nobility. The artist skillfully captures the textures of the fur-lined blue jacket, ornate gold braiding, and fine lace cravat against a soft, atmospheric background that brings focus to the sitter's dignified expression.
