This allegorical portrait of Sigismund von Kollonitsch by Jeremias Jakob Sedelmayr, created between 1727 and 1761, is a fine example of Baroque portraiture. The composition is elaborate and symbolic, with an angel bearing a banner above the central figure. The inscription below the portrait celebrates Kollonitsch's accomplishments and honors him as a Cardinal. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a detailed depiction of the individual through elaborate artistic techniques.
