Judecătorul Petrus Klausenburger is an unspecified by Stephanus Adolf Valepagi, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man in a dark robe with wide white fur trim at the collar and cuffs. His white wig is curly, and he holds a chain with a small object at his waist. Behind him, a dark curtain frames a coat of arms on the left and a tassel on the right. The coat of arms suggests he held some official or noble status. His serious expression and formal clothes point to a portrait meant to show power or rank. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create drama in portraits.
