An unknown painter

1772

He was born in 1754, one year after his brother, Pál. He died in Buda in 1815. During his life, he held many distinguished positions, and in 1778 he was appointed Consul of Rijeka by Empress Maria Theresa. In the portrait he is shown in a green hussar uniform with a red belt. He holds his right hand on his waist, his left hand holds a book that is resting on a table; his features are softer than those of Pál Szapáry.
