This painter left behind only two signed portraits from Transylvania in the late 1600s. In Portretul nobilului Demetrius Poynar, a nobleman’s lace collar and dark tunic stand sharply against a simple backdrop. Comitele Samuel von Baussnern shows another official, his hand resting on a desk ledger. Both works share a stiff, formal style typical of court painters of the era. See how these figures hold their status in every brushstroke—then step into the next portrait and notice how the folds of fabric change from one sitter to the next.
