Portretul lui Pazmany Peter is an 850 unspecified by Karoly Jakobey, held at Țării Crișurilor Museum.
This painting shows a man in bright red robes and a matching hat. His collar is white, and he wears a heavy gold chain with a cross. The background is dark, making his face stand out. The red color and shadows on his face suggest the artist used *chiaroscuro*—a technique that plays with light and dark to add depth. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how it works in other famous paintings.
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.
