Portrait d'un notable/ fonctionaire Hongrois signé Sarkozy

Bonjour,

je vous soumets ce tableau (61/81 cm,77.5 /97.5 cm avec le cadre) que je viens de rentrer, d'un notable Hongrois.
Probalement peint (et en fonction!) en entre guerre.
Si vous avez une idée sur l'homme ou le peintre je suis preneur.

Je le mets (aussi!) içi, car il y a des doutes sur l'age de l'oeuvre.
La date a l'arriére sur le cadre (1964) et les chiffres aprés la signature 925 (pourrait t'il sagire de 1925??

J'ai déjà recu ceci en info, d'un collegue sur un forum Anglo/Saxon;

Based on the decorations that I already identified above, I would say the man is a government official of some kind.  These kinds of paintings were seen hanging in Hungarian government buildings.  They were portraits of high officials who previously held office at the county or national level and who worked in those buildings.  In fact, this painting may have been looted from one of those government buildings after the war when the communists took over.

In order to identify this guy, you will probably have to get lucky and find his picture in one of hundreds of Hungarian government almanacs from different categories of government bodies between the years 1920-44.  Here is an example of just one of these kinds of almanacs... "Members of the Upper and Lower Houses of the Hungarian Parliament" Almanacs:

This is just one category of almanac!  There are almanacs from all the various Hungarian counties and cities as well!  Here are two links to examples of Hungarian government officials wearing the same kind of diszmagyar outfit that your guy is wearing:

Les medailles avec la croix de " lorraine" c'est effectivement hongrois. Et je pense à un aristo plutot qu'un notable...

Wikipedia...
"La Signum Laudis ou Médaille du Mérite Militaire (en allemand : Militär-Verdienstmedaille ; en hongrois : Katonai Érdemérem ; en croate : Vojna medalja za zasluge) est un décoration militaire honorifique de la monarchie austro-hongroise. Elle est fondée par François-Joseph Ier d'Autriche le 12 mars 1890."

Je crois qu'on y est.
Voilà le dernier complément sur GMIC;

After doing some research, I am reasonably certain that the artist who painted your picture is Elemér Nádasdi Sárközy who lived from 1900 to 1988 in Hungary. The signature on your painting perfectly matches known signatures of his. His paintings sell for decent money in European galleries and auctions. I am inclined to change the year that the painting was painted from 1925 to 1975, although it is possible that a talented 25 year-old artist could have executed this portrait. The reason I first said 1925 is that Europeans place a line through their sevens, therefore the number that looks like a seven must really be a two, or so I thought. It seems this artist didn't cross his sevens. As to the identity of the painting's subject... this was painted while Hungary was still under communism. I doubt that a painting of a nobleman who held high public office was commissioned by a communist governmental entity to hang in a public building. So there are only 2 remaining possibilities: it was a private commission OR the artist painted one of his own ancestors for himself or his family. The artist's family... the Nádasdi-Sárközy family... is actually an ancient Hungarian noble family. Some of the artist's ancestors became public officials in addition to carrying a noble title. So this portrait may very well be one of the Nádasdi-Sárközy ancestors who was a public official during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and also during the regency period of Nicholas Horthy. In fact, it may even be the artist's own father! Here... just take a look at the artist's impressive ancestral history: https://www.arcanum.hu/hu/online-kiadvanyok/Turul-turul-1883-1950-1/1906-FC48/1906-3-FFD5/a-nadasdi-sarkozy-csalad-100BE/ a écrit:

on voit qu'il sagit de fonctionaires / notable, avec des fonctions dans l'autorité publique autres que nous connaissons dans nos structures....
Et que ces gens soient aristocrates va de soit ...."noblesse oblige"....
Enfin;ce n'est que mon impréssion...
