FADRUSZ, János
(1858, Pozsony - 1903, Budapest)

Bust of Károly Neiszidler

1888
Plaster, height: 56,5 cm
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

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.
