Summary/Abstract: In the museum of the castle of Wartburg in Thuringia (Germania) can be found a collection of oil-paintings, representing portraits of saxonian rulers. Only one of these paintings doesn't show a representative of the Wettin dynasty, but the transylvanian Prince Gabriel (Gabor) Bethlen (born 1580, Prince 1613-1629). The author presents two hypothesis on the history of this up to date unknown portrait of Bethlen. Includes two pictures.
