Portrait of Baroness János Podmaniczky née Judit Osztroluczky is a 1724 oil by Ádám Mányoki, a Rococo painting work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This portrait depicts a woman in a brown dress with lace trim, holding a fan in her right hand. Her attire is complemented by a white puffy-sleeved jacket with a black ribbon tied around the elbow. The subject's dark hair is adorned with a decorative headband, and she wears a ring on her right hand. The painting's background is a dark, rich color that draws attention to the subject. The woman's expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed slightly to the left of the viewer. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait.

Ádám Mányoki (1673–1757) was an artist, born in Szokolya.
