Faces of a prince – An unknown portrait of Sigismund Báthory
In 2022, a very important new acquisition came to the collection of the Historical Gallery of the Hungarian National Museum. At an auction held in Vienna we successfully obtained a panel painting sold as the portrait of a young Ottoman sultan. We could unequivocally identify the subject as Prince of Transylvania Sigismund Báthory (1572–1613), depicted in his youth in the early 1590s. The painting is unique among the surviving portraits of princes. The only known depictions of Prince Stephen Báthory (Sigismund’s uncle) show him as king of Poland.
