About the piece

Painted in 1765 by Ján Gottlieb Kramer, this formal portrait depicts Baron Ján Splényi in full regalia. The subject's green coat is adorned with elaborate decorative frogging and soft fur trim, creating a sophisticated tactile contrast against the deep, atmospheric background characteristic of late 18th-century European portraiture.
