About the piece
Created around 1743, this elegant portrait depicts a nobleman from the Szirmay family in traditional military attire, including a fur-trimmed blue jacket and polished armor. The subject holds an oval miniature of an ancestor, symbolizing lineage and legacy, while the composition is enriched by a heavy teal curtain and heraldic symbols of power and status.
