About the piece
Dated to 1771, this formal portrait by a Slovak master captures Matej Zmeškal in a moment of refined poise. Dressed in a vibrant red coat with a deep fur collar and a gold-buttoned blue vest, the subject holds a book, signaling his scholarly pursuits. The inclusion of a heraldic coat of arms and Latin inscriptions adds a layer of historical depth, making it an ideal choice for rooms with a sense of heritage.
