Recognition of the heraldic decoration on the portrait of a hitherto unknown man wearing a cuirass clarifies the identification of the bearer of the coat of arms as well as the activities of his contemporaries—officers in the Imperial Army regiments in the early 18th century. In the portrait galleries of the Slovak museum collections there are two preserved images of men—officers of the Minckwitz family, in the Slovak National Museum in Martin and in the Museum in Svätý Anton. One of them fought in Field Marshal General Nicholas Pálfi’s Infantry Regiment, the other in Baron Seherr von Thoss’s Cuirassier Regiment. The Minckwitz family came from Saxony, but also settled in what is now the Czech Republic. They arrived in Slovakia thanks to marriages, and probably that is why the studied portraits of men in cuirasses have been preserved in the torso of the Révai family gallery.

Key words: Portraits of officers – Infantry Regiment of Mikuláš Pálfi – Cuirassier Regiment of Seherr von Thoss – Minckwitz and Révai families
