About the piece

This 1725 oil painting presents a formal portrait of Štefan Desseöffy, a figure of significance from the East Slovak region. The work features traditional aristocratic elements, including a family coat of arms and the meticulously rendered textures of fur and embroidery, characteristic of Central European portraiture of the early 18th century.
