De László painted a formal portrait of Dezső Szilágyi in 1894 [13102]. The present portrait was probably painted at the same time and may have been a personal gift from the artist to the sitter. It has been heavily restored.

For biographical notes on the sitter, see [13102].

PROVENANCE:
Presented to the Hungarian National Museum in 1951.
