Fadrusz executed portrait busts by commissions in his first artistic period. One of these sculptures is the bust of Neiszidler. Later he made portraits only as studies for his large-scale monuments, examples of these portraits being the busts of Béla Wenckheim and Lajos Tisza. His portraits represent heads with characteric features, however, some of the details (beard, hair-do, garment) were elaborated with the minuteness required by the taste of the period.
