About the piece
This commanding 1756 portrait depicts Ladislav Szent Iványi in a richly detailed military jacket of deep green and gold. The composition is balanced by the inclusion of a small white spaniel and a heraldic crest, while extensive Latin inscriptions at the top provide an archival, scholarly feel. The work exemplifies the formal dignity of Central European portraiture of the Baroque period.
