The inscription below the coat of arms shows that the person depicted is Count Leopold Karel Lamberg, the imperial court’s chamberlain and councilor for Carniola. The manor that his father built in Ljubljana was named Leopoldsruhe in his honor, known today after its later owner as the Cekin Mansion. Here first hung the count’s baroque, aristocratic portrait. This is the only portrait that Metzinger signed. The full-body portrait of a standing figure attracts the viewer’s attention through a bold complementary distribution of colour on the canvas’s surface, the eloquent face with striking features, and the subject’s generally self-confident posture, with his right hand resting upon his side. His posture and gaze are austere and come across as cold, even aristocratic. The painter placed particular attention on the fashionable details of the subject’s attire, adding the requisite attributes of his social status. The count is garbed in black velvet with a white-laced collar and patches on the sleeves; he is wearing shoes that were fashionable in the 18th century, with smashing buckles and red heels. A golden key hangs from his waist, the sign of the imperial chamberlain’s clout and dignity.
