Portretul lui Bathory Laszlo is an 850 unspecified by Karoly Jakobey, held at Țării Crișurilor Museum.
This portrait painting features a man with a prominent beard and mustache, dressed in a white robe. The subject's gaze is directed to the left, with his head turned slightly in that direction. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to accentuate the subject's features. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it may be a depiction of a historical or religious figure. The level of detail in the subject's facial expression and clothing implies a high level of craftsmanship on the part of the artist. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
This Hungarian painter had a knack for making stiff 19th-century portraits feel alive—he once sat a sitter in front of a window just to catch the right light on their face.
