About the piece
Painted in 1775 by Johann Lucas Kracker, this formal portrait depicts Abbot Andrej Sauberer. The sitter is dressed in a luminous blue-grey mozetta with a detailed pectoral cross, holding a plan for the Jasov monastery, reflecting his role in its construction. The work captures the dignity and intellectual legacy of the 18th-century Central European clergy with masterful brushwork and lighting.
